Football
NFL Flag Football
Flag football is a popular sport among kids and is played with similar rules to regular American football. However, instead of tackling players to the ground, players wear a flag on their waistband that is pulled off by opposing team members to signify a tackle. The program is generally designed to be safe, fun, and inclusive for all participants. Each child gets equal playing time, ensuring that the less skilled players get a chance to improve and contribute to the team. Moreover, the program teaches teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect for others.
The Dracut Recreation Flag football Program is suitable for kids of all ages, usually starting as young as 5 years old up to high school age. The sport provides a great opportunity for children to develop their social and physical skills, build confidence, and make new friends.
