The Basic Rules

In flag football, each team consists of five players on the field. The objective is to move the ball into the opponent's end zone to score points. Here are some key rules to keep in mind:

• Each team has four downs to advance the ball ten yards.
• If a player's flag is pulled, it counts as a "tackle."
• Punts and kickoffs are not allowed.
• Each half lasts 20 minutes, with a brief halftime break.

Getting Started

Before you hit the field, you'll need the right equipment. Here's a list of essential items:

• Flags and belts: Each player should have a set of flags and belts to attach them to.
• A football: Look for a regulation-sized football for better accuracy and grip.
• A mouthguard: Although flag football is non-contact, a mouthguard can still provide protection.
• Comfortable clothing: Opt for breathable materials and shoes with good traction.

Skills and Techniques

To excel in adult flag football, focus on improving the following skills and techniques:

1. Flag-Pulling Techniques

Master various flag-pulling techniques to increase your chances of stopping opponents. Some popular techniques include the "grab and pull," "angle grab," and "trail grab."

2. Passing Techniques

3. Receiving Techniques
