Overview
Boomer Spring & Fall NFL rules flag football is a nationally sanctioned program that encourages players to learn the game of football while emphasizing the speed & agility side of the game. Flag football is a fast moving sport which helps the children understand the speed-of-the-game in a safe & fun environment.

Flag football is played with five players on offense and five players on defense with no blocking allowed. This format allows for any player on the offensive side to be available to receive a pass or run the ball at any time.

Players learn the basics of running routes on offense and the aspects of playing defense without the physical play of tackling. The teaching of basic football plays through the flag football system enables the children to have a better grasp of how football is played as they continue to move up through school football.

The Boomer Spring & Fall NFL Instructional Flag Football program begins with league play wherein the players are divided into teams based upon their skill level in order to form teams that are as equally balanced as possible.
