Why Play Flag Football? 

D1 Flag proudly joins the national effort to promote safety in youth sports, particularly in flag football. Flag football serves as an excellent introduction to the game for children, retaining all the excitement and camaraderie of traditional football while eliminating the risks associated with tackling. This makes it a safer option for young players, allowing them to develop their athleticism, teamwork, and strategic thinking in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Unlike tackle football, flag football is a "no contact" game, focusing on skill and strategy where teams run or pass the ball downfield to score touchdowns. Defensive players aim to pull the flags off the ball carrier's belt instead of tackling, ensuring a safer playing experience. Once a flag is pulled, the player is considered "down", maintaining the competitive spirit while prioritizing player safety.

Flag Football Takes the Olympic Stage

Exciting news! Flag football will debut at the 2028 Olympics, showcasing the sport's global appeal and inclusivity. As a youth flag football league, we're thrilled about this historic milestone, which highlights the game's growing popularity and recognition. Get ready for thrilling action as athletes from around the world compete for gold in this dynamic sport. Join us in celebrating this monumental moment for flag football!
