Flag Football is a variant of American Football (Gridiron), a sport that originated in the United States. The key difference is that, instead of tackling, a defensive player stops the offensive player in possession of the ball by pulling a flag from their belt. As a non-contact alternative to the traditional game, it reduces the risk of injury while maintaining the excitement and strategic depth of American Football.

Flag Football is also more accessible and easier to implement, requiring fewer players, coaches, and financial resources. Additionally, the simplified rules make it easier to learn, allowing more young people to participate regardless of their prior experience. Beyond accessibility, it fosters valuable life skills. Players of all shapes and sizes can contribute and experience the joy of sports, while the game itself encourages strategic thinking, fair play, respect, and teamwork. Its non-contact nature further enables effortless coeducational participation, making it an inclusive and dynamic sport for all.

Flag Football’s growing popularity is further highlighted by its inclusion as an official sport at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This milestone underscores its potential to make a lasting impact on communities worldwide, both on and off the field.
