Can you help me understand flag football better?

Question

What is a "play" in flag football? How do you play flag football? Where can I read about this?

Answer 1

It's played like any other type of American football, but instead of tackling or using the 2-hand touch, you pull out one of 2 flags placed on each side of the waist.

The exact rules vary by oversight agency.

The NIRSAR rules link is below.

Answer 2

Read up on it...I sent you a link.  

Answer 3

Search it up dummy. U got the internet, you were able to get on yahoo. Nobody wants to sit at the compuet for 45 minutes telling you what flag football is. although, im sure some people will.

Answer 4

Okay coach,

In the US there are two kinds of flag football.

1. 9 man teams

2.  11 man teams

The game is played the nearly the same as American Football, with the excepttion every one is wearing a belt with velcro flags on the waist band.  So, instead of tackling, the defensive player just yanks the flag off  from the velcro on the belt.

Offense trying to score with possession of the football

Defense trying to stop the offense

Special Teams, kick offs, and extra points

NFL.com has a site on flag football.

Or just google flag football
