About Flag Football

What is Flag Football

Flag Football is a non-contact (there may be incidental contact) variant of football where, instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag from the ball carrier to end a down. Flag Football is typically played 5 on 5, 6 on 6 or 7 on 7 and can be tailored to fit an organization's structure and needs. Flag Football is a low cost way to enjoy the sport of football with the only gear being a mouth guard and cleats (both optional but HIGHLY recommended). Additional information about the sport of flag football is provided below in the links.

Why play Flag Football?

With football being a huge part of the TJ community, we wanted to expand the offerings to help keep our kids active and learn new sports. Additionally, there may be some kids who want to play Football but are not interested in tackle. Flag Football also has a greater appeal for a coed sport.
