What if I told you, that for just 30¢, I could make you a better flag football player? Ok, follow my logic here.

MOB is one of the most popular 5on5 flag football plays where handoffs & running are allowed, as it is extremely versatile, simple and effective.

By Darin Wissner - It's Just A Game Events Flag Football game officials get very little respect. In many cases, they haven't earned it. Often, organizers simply ask their friends. “It’s easy man! You know football, right?” Then these friends are put in to tough predicaments right away. “Man, that is face guarding! You can’t do that. That’s...

Tight Freak Nasty from our 4 on 4 football plays collection is a staple of some of the top teams in the country, especially around the goal line. I prefer to run the play without motion the first time (with the [2] just lined up at slot), and then if it's successful and we run it later...
By Darin Wissner with Just A Game Events Youth tackle football is not as dangerous as the news labels it to be. I am not going to bore you with statistics, but the fact is, that your 8-year old son just doesn't get hit hard enough to get concussions! Half the kids on defense don’t want to lay your...
Base Crack Layers from our 7on7 flag football plays collection is a fairly simple play to run and execute that has several options with easy reads.

Oopty is one of my all time favorite 8 on 8 flag football plays, and works extremely well in long distance situations. Upon sending [3] in motion, most teams will try and employ a zone defense, typically with 1 safety over the top, and 2 in the short zone with one of them taking away the inside...

We have...
Bunch Iso Blender from our 5 on 5 flag football plays collection is a great all around play that can be effective against just about any defense you'll come up against.

This could just as easily have been titled "7 Things To Keep In Mind Next Time You Chew Out Your Referee" or "Give These Guys A Break, Seriously."

The Tight Under from our 4 on 4 flag football plays collection is set up to coax the defense into locking up the solo receiver, and playing inside out on the center/2 combo, or going straight zone across the board.

Hip moves don't come naturally, and when you start playing flag football, the biggest thing to focus on that's a big change from normal football: don’t flag guard.

The Speed Shoots from our 7 on 7 flag football plays collection is a quick hitting play that is designed to get the ball out of the quarterbacks hands into his playmaker's as quickly as possible. There's not much time to take a snap under center, but if the speed route isn't immediately openeither or the slants are next...
The Wheelie from our 8 on 8 flag football plays collection is a great example of a go-to play out of a very tough to defend formation with an athletic team and a mobile quarterback.
