ABOUT
NFL FLAG FOOTBALL:
NFL FLAG Football is a popular
five-on-five game filled with fun and action. In this game, the
offensive team plays for a first down at midfield and a touchdown
in the end zone. Running and passing plays are allowed, although
there are “no-running zones” at midfield and near each goal line.
The defensive team covers receivers, rushes the passer and grabs
flags to make “tackles.”

girls - must be 5 years old by June 10th (3-on-3 or 4-on-4 games)

Equipment/Uniform
   The reversible team jersey is mandatory in order to play
in the games. In addition, a mouthpiece must be worn by all

any of these mandatory pieces of equipment will result in the
inability to play on game day. Please take care of your equipment.
You may want to leave flags with your child's coach if this
concerns you.
 K-1, 2-3 and 4-5 division teams
will use the blue NFL Pee Wee football. The 6-8 division teams
will use the tan NFL Youth football.
NFL FLAG jerseys come in seven sizes: youth medium, youth large,
small, medium, large, x-large, and xx-large. To better understand
the jersey sizes please see the chart below.
The 7 Guiding Principles of NFL Youth
Programs
The NFL Youth Programs were developed to help kids and their
families have an enjoyable experience every time they step on a
football field. As part of this, the NFL asked kids, parents, and
coaches about their likes, dislikes, and concerns, not only with
playing football, but with the overall youth sports experience.
As a result of this research, we have developed seven guiding
principles that make up the overall philosophy that we apply to all
the NFL Youth Programs.
1. Make It Fun:
This is the primary objective and cornerstone of the entire
philosophy. Regardless of whether it’s a game or a practice,
football at the youth level should always be fun. This requires a
little creativity on the part of the parent/coach to offer and
adopt fun methods throughout all aspects of their program.
Incorporate games and low-key competitions to teach fundamentals
rather than running traditional drills.
2. Limit Standing Around:
This is a common problem with youth sports that ultimately turns
kids off. Whether it’s a game, practice, clinic, or camp, we have
designed all of our programs to engage every participant
consistently. Kids don’t attend practice to watch others play. Kids
enjoy practices when they have fun and they experience an
improvement in their overall skills. Many professional coaches put
a major emphasis on fast paced and interactive practices that
eliminate downtime. You will see your team’s attention and energy
levels improve immediately when you engage the entire team in
drills of short duration.
3. Everyone Plays:
Football at the youth level should be an inclusive experience. It
is never fun at any level of play to sit and watch others
participate, anticipating the opportunity to play if the situation
arises. The youth level of football should be an equal learning
experience for everyone, whether it’s a game or a practice.
How often have you either experienced or witnessed a practice where
several players are being instructed and drilled while a group of
teammates stand around and watch, never receiving the same
attention? Most often the group standing around has been deemed by
their coach to be not as skilled or talented, therefore, the
attention is paid to the so-called "stars" of the team.
A coach is a teacher. A teacher/coach’s job is to raise the level
of learning and skills of not only the most talented, but for
everyone on the team, starting with the least talented. The NFL
philosophy eliminates first, second, and third strings in both
games and at practice.
4. Teach Every Position To Every
Participant:
Don’t pigeonhole kids in one particular position because of their
physical size and/or ability. In order to provide each participant
a full experience and appreciation for the game that will last a
lifetime, we encourage all programs to teach everyone every
position.
As we all know, kids grow at various rates. A smaller child may
develop late and become much larger than his/her present size
indicates and vice versa. How many athletes has football lost
throughout the years because of coaches taking the largest kids and
making them play the line? These kids often experienced an entire
football season without touching the football.
Kids should have the opportunity to experience every position. As
Peter Brock, former center for the New England Patriots, explains
to youth coaches in the Boston area, "What a tragedy it would’ve
been for New England Patriots football history if Drew Bledsoe had
been told as a big kid beginning youth football that he could not
play quarterback, and was forced to play the line due to his size.
Who knows? He may have dropped out of football like so many other
kids in his situation and gone on to play baseball, another sport,
or dropped out of athletics completely."
A youth coach’s job is to introduce and teach every position to
every kid. Never make judgments based on someone’s size alone;
teach every participant every position and they will naturally find
the position they belong in, and you will be in a better position
to guide them.
5. Emphasize The Fundamentals:
Build a foundation that will never crack by properly teaching the
basics. Learning the fundamentals and perfecting the same basics at
every level of play is essential to having any chance of
success.
Warning: Do not attempt to replicate plays you see in NFL and
college games! Every scheme that is attempted in a college or NFL
game is supported by years of training in the fundamentals of the
game.
If one player does not execute the fundamentals of his position
correctly, the most sophisticated scheme in the world will not
work. It is unfair and not fun to focus on running plays that will
fail 9 out of 10 times. Youth programs that focus on scheming plays
over executing fundamentals are cheating every participant out of
the chance to learn the game properly.
6. Incorporate A Progression Of Skill
Development For Every Participant:
Regardless of a player’s skill level, it is your responsibility as
a youth football coach to teach every kid on your team. It is no
secret that if kids experience improvement in their skills, no
matter what their athletic ability may be, they will continue to
participate and return to learn more.
7. Yell Encouragement, Whisper Constructive
Criticism:
Keep it positive. As a youth football coach you should never
tolerate negative comments from your players, parents, coaching
staff, and especially yourself. Kids realize when they have made
mistakes. What they don’t need is to have that mistake compounded
by negative feedback and comments. What they do need is feedback on
how to correct the mistake supported by positive
encouragement.
