“This is a man’s world – but it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a child.” echoes like a reverberating time machine. While many sports have accepted and embraced the participation of women, American Football remains a game reserved for only the overly-testosterone induced, jock; however like fleeting moments brushed away by the ticking...

Bunch Goal Line Gold from our Flag Football Plays 5 on 5 Collection may not look special, but it's mine and a lot of teams #1 go-to play for short yardage situations, especially around the goal line. It's so effective, I tend to run it multiple times per game because it's easy to read and easy...
What if I told you, that for just 30¢, I could make you a better flag football player? Ok, follow my logic here. In flag football, someone who’s flag doesn’t get pulled nearly as often is probably better than the guy who does right? Granted there are many things needed to make that happen, but having...
Kill Zone is a modification of one of our teams most effective 8on8 flag football plays, with multiple options short, deep and on the run. It's highly effective with an above average runner as your primary QB (check out these QB tips here), but you don't have to be the best athlete in the world to...

MOB is one of the most popular 5on5 flag football plays where handoffs & running are allowed, as it is extremely versatile, simple and effective. Almost every team you face will switch to a zone flag football defense against a 4 bunch formation, typically a 2-2 or 3-1, which makes handoffs & throwbacks more difficult to...

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.

Recently in our LinkedIn Flag Football group we had a question come up about the best 5 on 5 flag football defense strategies to use, so we thought it would be a good intro to a breakdown of our top 5 recommended 5 on 5 flag football defenses that every team should implement at different times. [bsa_pro_ad_space id=7] Here...
Football concussions can be very serious, and many people are attributing the increasing rise of youth flag football to the growing safety concerns of full contact football in pads.

We polled youth flag football parents on the top 12 traits they felt all youth football coaches should possess. Let us know what you think in the comments below! Make...
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...
Many people have asked for some 5 on 5 flag football defense tips, and there's no better place to start than how to defend a bunch offense. The bunch offense might be one of the most difficult offenses to defend, but there are a couple of ways to make it easier for the team. You will...
Here in Dallas, we are fortunate enough to have several different organizations running flag football tournaments almost every weekend and have been for the last 4 to 5+ years, so I've played my fair share and really there's no better place to hone your skills and hang out with friends than in a high pressure event. 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. Your Center and [2] routes will be your primary reads. Out of this formation, many teams will lock up the [3] and play a combination of 2-1...
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." But, if you've ever been a flag football referee, whether for a youth or adult league or tournament event, or any sport for that matter, you pretty much know...
The Bunch QB Wheel from our 5 on 5 flag football plays collection is one of our favorite plays to use against an overly aggressive rusher and a defense that likes to play man defense. There are a couple variations you can use out of different formations to get a similar result, but the idea is always the...
We thought it would be fun to post our flag football rankings for the top 4 on 4 teams in the country, so below is how it stands as of today. As I was prepping to write this, I text a couple of people to see who they would rank and where they would rank them. I was surprised...
The Crossover from our 8 on 8 flag football plays collection is designed to be run out of a sideline stack formation with 4 on 4 style bunch offense in the middle. This play is designed to beat both a man and zone defense, faring particularly well against a zone cover 2 by drawing the right corner and safety's attention...

Here are some basic flag football tips for new and beginner quarterbacks to help set you on the right track. Find a ball that’s right for you Sounds...
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. In either situation, the 2 should come open late or the center should be wide open early. It's a great play...
