Flag Football SHAPE Standards: DPE Outcomes: Equipment: 4 • I Can Evaluate the Role of Different Skills in • Foam Rubber Junior Football Modified Football Games
GRADES 5-8 CLOSING ACTIVITY Flag Football SHAPE Standards: DPE Outcomes: Equipment: 4 • I can evaluate the role of different skills in • Foam rubber junior football modified football games. • 2 flags per player • I can apply at least one offensive and one • One pinnie per student defensive strategy during a modified game. • 12 cones for boundaries • I can explain how rule modifications may impact strategy selection. Instructions Flag Football Supplies: Foam rubber junior football, two flags per player (about 3 in. wide and 24 in. long) Skills: All football skills The field is divided into three zones by lines marked off at 20-yd intervals. There also should be two end zones, from 5 to 10 yd in width, defining the area behind the goal in which passes may be caught. Flag Football is played with two flags on each player. The flag is a length of cloth that is hung from the side at the waist of each player. To down (stop) a player with the ball, one of the flags must be pulled. Flag Football should rarely, if ever, be played with 11 players on a side. This results in a crowded field and leaves little room to maneuver. If six or seven are on a team, four players are required to be on the line of scrimmage. For eight or nine players, five offensive players must be on the line. The game consists of two halves. A total of 25 plays make up each half. All plays count in the 25, except the try for the point after a touchdown and a kickoff out-of-bounds.

Pass Interference and Illegal Contact on a Receiver
Pass Interference and illegal contact on a receiver Pass interference is a judgment call. There can be contact beyond the line of scrimmage that is not pass interference. It is forward-pass interference if any player of A or B who is beyond the neutral zone interferes (to interpose in a way that hinders or impedes: come into collision) with an eligible opponent's opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass or hinders an opponent’s vision with out making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, even though no contact was made. There is no “5-yard bump and run” rule in High School Football. The pass being uncatchable has no bearing on the ruling of pass interference. Both receiver and defender have the right to catch the ball. An offensive receiver on his line may contact the defender across the line from them but, contact must terminate before traveling more than 2 yards down field if the ball is thrown across the line of scrimmage. Offensive receivers need to avoid contact with all defensive players as defenders are eligible receivers also. Any blocking down field by an offensive player is Offensive Pass interference if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage. A defensive player must avoid contact with a receiver who is no longer a potential blocker. So a receiver is a potential blocker until there is a pass. A defender can contact an offensive receiver until the ball is thrown. All plays are running plays until the ball is passed. Pass interference on the defense can only happen in the area of the field where the ball is thrown.
