New to coaching flag football?
Most youth leagues play 5 on 5 with no blocking, no QB running past the line of scrimmage, and every player eligible to catch a pass. That means plays win by spacing and timing, not size. Keep your playbook small, give every play a name the kids can shout, and practice the handoff every week. Then grab the gear checklist.
