  • 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.
