Flag Football
Flag Football

1st – 8th Grade
With a strong focus on play, fun, and making friends, this age-specific flag football program has a curriculum based on child development. CRS coaches and families work together to progress the players’ social, emotional, and physical skills. The primary difference in flag football is that it is a “no contact” game. Instead of tackling the ball carrier, defensive players attempt to pull the flags off the ball carrier’s belt. The program is designed for your child to build on performance and ability throughout the season without the same risk of injury as tackle football. Our program is designed to be an introduction for boys and girls who are beginners in flag football while building skills and self-confidence for more advanced participants.
