everything nfl flag

    • Offers Inclusivity: Flag is a great sport for both boys and girls of all ages – even the younger ones. There are no height or weight restrictions, making it a game everybody can play.

    • Favors Flexibility: Flag supports all skill levels and sports priorities – from fun competition to learning the fundamentals of football to prepare for a transition into tackle.

    • Promotes Fitness: Flag encourages physical activity and healthy movement, ensuring your child spends quality time away from the screen.

    • Introduces Football: Flag provides a natural entry point into the world of football, creating opportunities for your child to learn, engage and grow with the sport.

    • Teaches Teamwork: Flag instills the critical value of teamwork and teaches your child how to play and interact well with others.

    • Builds Confidence: Flag equips your child with the skills to build and grow their confidence levels both on and off the field.

    • Instills Sportsmanship: Flag teaches your child what being a good sport and team player looks like, emphasizing what it means to win and lose gracefully.

  • Here’s a list of basic flag football rules: 

    • All passes must be forward and received beyond the line of scrimmage.

    • Direct handoffs as well as unlimited backward pitches and passes are allowed behind the line of scrimmage. No backwards passes or direct handoffs are allowed past the line of scrimmage.

    • The quarterback has 7 seconds, from receiving the snap, to release the ball. Once a backwards handoff, pass or lateral occurs, the 7 second rule goes away and the offense has an unlimited amount of time to throw a forward pass.

    • The player receiving the snap (QB) cannot run across the line of scrimmage with the ball. The QB can hand off or pitch/throw the ball backwards to a teammate and then catch a forward pass across the line of scrimmage.

    • Offensive players must steer clear of the rusher and may not get in his/her way.

    • A maximum of 2 designated defensive rushers may legally rush the quarterback. All designated rushers must identify themselves, with their hand raised until the snap, to legally rush from the 7 yard rush line.  Designated rushers are not obligated to rush, but if they do, they must rush immediately upon the ball being snapped.

    • Once the ball is handed off, pitched or thrown backwards by the offense, all defenders are eligible to rush across the line of scrimmage.

    • Interceptions are returnable for 6 pts. during a scrimmage down or for 2 pts on any extra point attempt. A backwards pass intercepted in the air, behind the line of scrimmage, can also be advanced by the defense for a score. 

    • The ball is dead when it hits the ground, the offensive player’s flag is pulled from their belt, the ball-carrier steps out of bounds, or the ball-carrier’s body—outside of their hands or feet—touches the ground.

    • All offensive flag football penalties result in a loss of down and yardage.

    • All defensive flag football penalties result in an automatic first down and some are associated with yardage.

    For a complete list of flag football rules, download the NFL FLAG Football Rule Book.

  • Yes. Dolphins Flag Football League is a non-contact youth flag football program designed to provide a safe and fun environment for players to learn the game. Players learn football fundamentals, teamwork, and sportsmanship while competing without tackling or blocking.
