Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS NFL FLAG FOOTBALL?
NFL FLAG Football is a popular five-on-five game of recreation football (with no contact) filled with fun and action. In this game, the offensive team plays for a first down at midfield and a touchdown in the end zone. Running and passing plays are allowed, although there are “no-running zones” at midfield and near each goal line. The defensive team covers receivers, rushes the passer, and grabs flags to make “tackles.” For more information on the rules of play and the philosophy of NFL Flag go to and click on the "Handouts" link.

HOW FREQUENTLY AND WHEN WILL THE TEAMS PRACTICE AND PLAY?
Fall Flag - Before the season starts we will organize an evaluation and skill session. Team assignments will then be made. Thereafter, we expect the teams will be practicing and playing two games per week on Saturday except for K-2. The season is expected to end the weekend prior to NJ Teachers Convention weekend. Each coach can meet once with their team the Saturday before the season starts to hold a practice and hand out uniforms if they arrive in time. Following that day all practices are a half hour preceding the game. There are no other practices allowed.
Spring Flag - At the end of March or beginning of April, we will organize and evaluation and skill session. Team assignments will then be made. Thereafter, we expect the teams will be practicing and playing one game per week on Sunday each week. The season is expected to end in mid-June. Each coach can meet once with their team the Sunday before the season starts to hold a practice and hand out uniforms if they arrive in time. Following that day all practices are a half hour preceding the game. There are no other practices allowed.
