NFL Flag Football is an excellent alternative to full-contact, full equipment, "6 nights a week" youth football leagues. The game is strictly "no contact" football with primary emphasis placed on the development of passing, receiving, running and coverage skills, and having fun playing football. Games are played 5 on 5 with modified rules to heighten skill development and assure equal playing time for all players. NFL Flag Football is not a highly competitive program. Players meet for 75 minutes each week - a 30 minute training session followed by a 45 minute game. A NFL team-oriented reversible football jersey and flag belt are included in the fee. A mouthguard is mandatory.
