Today we played Flag Football which was a lot of fun for the kids. Each of the coaches played on the teams and all time quarter back. That made it fair for the kids, because they all wanted to play quarter back. The rules for flag football are listed below.
1. At the start of each game, captains from both teams shall meet at midfield for the coin toss to determine who shall start with the ball.
2. The winner of the coin toss gets to decide taking possession or defense, to begin. The loser of the coin toss chooses the end zone to start play.
3. The offensive team takes possession of the ball at its 5-yard line and has three (3) plays to cross midfield for a first down. Once a team crosses midfield it has three (3) plays to score a touchdown. 5-6 year olds will receive (4) plays (for a first down and touchdown)
4. If the offense fails to score, the ball changes possession and the new offensive team takes over on its 5yard line.
5. If the offensive team fails to cross midfield, possession of the ball changes and the opposition starts its drive from its 5-yard line.
6. All possession changes, except interceptions, start on the offense’s 5-yard line.
7. Teams change sides after the first half. Possession changes to the loser of the coin toss.
We did have some kids that were not interested toward the game or found that they did not get passed too. Which when they noticed that we tried to pass them the ball, but also had to make it clear to them that when there is a person right on them they might now get passes too
