NFL Youth
Football programs help children and their families enjoy the football experience
every time they step on a field. Our programs are also a resource for coaches,
helping them promote a positive experience for all participants.
NFL FLAG is
the premier youth football league for boys and girls ages 5-17. The program
provides young players a fun and exciting opportunity to engage in non-contact,
continuous action while learning lessons in teamwork.
| Players’ Ages |
NFL FLAG teams are for boys and
girls ages 5 to 17. The age bracket in which a player participates
should be determined by the player’s age as of September 1st of the
current year. NFL FLAG Football groups players into seven age brackets
as follows:

| Seasons |
NFL FLAG FOOTBALL has two seasons:
fall and spring. NFL FLAG has two seasons, one starting the fall in
September and the spring in April. The length of a season generally runs
eight to ten weeks.
|
RULES AND EQUIPMENT
| The Basics |
- A coin toss determines first possession.
- The offensive team takes possession of the ball at its 5-yard
line and has three plays to cross midfield. Once a team crosses
midfield, it has three plays to score a touchdown. If the offense
fails to score, the ball changes possession and the new offensive
team takes over on its 5-yard line.
- If the offensive team fails to cross midfield, possession of the
ball changes and the opposition starts its drive from its 5-yard
line.
- All possession changes, except interceptions, start on the
offense’s 5-yard line.
- Teams change sides after the first 20 minutes. Possession
changes to loser of coin toss and the clock does not stop.
|
| Players/Game Schedules |
Teams must field a minimum of five players at
all times.
Teams consist of 10 players – five on the field, with five substitutes.
|
| Timing/Overtime |
Games are played to 40 minutes running time. If
the score is tied at the end of 40 minutes, teams move directly into
overtime. The first team to score wins.
Each time the ball is spotted, a team has 30 seconds to snap the ball.
Teams will receive one warning before a delay-of-game penalty is
enforced.
Each team has one 60-second and one 30-second time-out per half.
Officials can stop the clock at their discretion.
|
| Scoring |
Touchdown:
6 points
Extra point:
1 point (played from 5-yard line) or
2 points (played from 12-yard line)
Safety:
2 points |
| |
| Running |
The quarterback cannot run with the ball.
Only direct handoffs behind the line of scrimmage are permitted. Offense
may use multiple handoffs.
“No-running zones” located five yards from each end zone and five yards
on either side of midfield are designed to avoid short-yardage,
power-running situations.
The player who takes the handoff can throw the ball from behind the line
of scrimmage.
Once the ball has been handed off, all defensive players are eligible to
rush.
Spinning is allowed, but players cannot leave their feet to avoid a
defensive player (no diving).
The ball is spotted where the ball carrier’s feet are when the flag is
pulled, not where the ball is.
Absolutely NO laterals or pitches of any kind are allowed.
|
| Receiving |
All players are eligible to receive passes
(including the quarterback if the ball has been handed off behind the
line of scrimmage).
As in the NFL, only one player is allowed in motion at a time.
A player must have at least one foot inbounds when making a reception.
|
| Passing |
Shovel passes are allowed.
The quarterback has a seven-second “pass clock.” If a pass is not thrown
within the seven seconds, play is dead, loss of down. Once the ball is
handed off, the seven-second rule no longer is in effect.
Interceptions change the possession of the ball at the point of
interception. Interceptions are the only changes of possession that do
not start on the 5-yard line. |
| |
| Dead Balls |
The ball must be snapped between the legs, not
off to one side, to start play.
Substitutions may be made on any dead ball.
Play is ruled “dead” when:
— Ball carrier’s flag is pulled
— Ball carrier steps out of bounds
— Touchdown or safety is scored
— At the point of an interception (interception returns are not allowed)
— Ball carrier’s knee hits the ground
— Ball carrier’s flag falls out
Note: There are no fumbles. The ball is spotted where the ball hits the
ground.
|
| Rushing the Quarterback |
All players who rush the passer must be a
minimum of seven yards from the line of scrimmage when the ball is
snapped. Any number of players can rush the quarterback. Players not
rushing the quarterback may defend on the line of scrimmage.
Once the ball is handed off, the seven-yard rule no longer is in effect,
and all defenders may go behind the line of scrimmage. A special marker,
or the referee, will designate seven yards from the line of scrimmage.
Remember, no blocking or tackling is allowed.
|
| Sportsmanship/Roughing |
If the field monitor or referee witnesses any
acts of tackling, elbowing, cheap shots, blocking or any unsportsmanlike
act, the game will be stopped and the player will be ejected from the
game. FOUL PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Trash talking is illegal. Officials have the right to determine
offensive language. (Trash talk is talk that may be offensive to
officials, opposing players, teams or spectators.) If trash talking
occurs, the referee will give one warning. If it continues, the player
or players will be ejected from the game. |
| |

play. All penalties will be assessed from the line of scrimmage.

clarification and interpretations. Players cannot question judgment
calls.
Games cannot end on a defensive penalty, unless the offense declines it. |
