Flag football is a non-contact version of American football, where players wear flags attached to their belts.

This game is often played recreationally or in organized leagues and is popular among people of all ages, particularly in youth and co-ed formats. Flag football follows similar rules to traditional football, including offensive and defensive positions, but with simplified or modified regulations, making it more accessible and safer. The sport emphasizes speed, agility, teamwork, and strategy, and it's played with teams typically ranging from 4 to 7 players. Flag football is an exciting, fast-paced game that allows participants to enjoy football's fundamental elements while reducing the risk of injury. It's commonly played outdoors on fields or in gymnasiums, offering a great cardiovascular workout and a fun way to stay active.
