This year is a first for our household - Jayden decided to try out for the Riverview
High School Lady Sharks flag football team. After an intense two
days of tryouts, Jay learned that she was
selected to be a member of the team. As this is her
first time playing football of any type - aside from soccer, that
is! - she was assigned to the Junior Varsity team this year. Despite being new
to the sport and team, Jay was able to select her favorite number, #11, to
wear on her jersey. Here's looking forward to a great year!

| I have to be honest - flag football is not at all
what I expected. It is not like regular football, as I had thought.
Here is a quick rundown of the similarities, differences, and ways
to score that I found online: |
|
| SIMILARITIES TO TACKLE FOOTBALL |
| |
There are many similarities to football when it comes to flag
football. |
|
| |
- You can throw the ball.
- You can run with the ball.
- Interceptions are allowed on defense.
- Punting or going for it on 4th down is allowed.
- Punt returns are allowed.
- All games have four quarters with 12 minutes clocks as it is
in traditional tackle football at the high school level.
However, there is a difference that will be explained in the
differences.
- Team are allowed three (3) time outs per half.
- A lot of the same formations that are used in traditional
tackle football are also used in flag football between both
offense and defense.
|
|
| DIFFERENCES TO TACKLE FOOTBALL |
| |
Just as there are many similarities to tackle football there are
just as many things that go the opposite direction for flag
football. |
|
| |
- You cannot physically tackle your opponent. Tackles are done
by pulling the flags.
- The offensive line and defensive line are nonexistent in
flag football as there is no physical tackling. Only the center
has to be on the line of scrimmage which is a change from
requiring five players to be on the line of scrimmage when the
ball is snapped.
- The field is 80 yards long divided up in sections with
markings at the 20 yard line, 40 yard line and at the 20 yard
line. End zones make up both ends of the field and 10 yards deep
on each end.
- At the start of a game there is no kickoff to the receiving
team. Instead the ball is placed on the 14 yard line where the
team that gets the ball first will start the game at. This also
applies after the opposing team scores.
- To gain a first down you must advance the ball past each of
the line markers at 20, 40, 20 and the Goal Line.
- Although playing a full four (4) quarters each game is
similar to tackle football at the high school level as mentioned
above, the clock consistently runs until the last two minutes of
each half where a stop clock is utilized for different
situations.
|
|
| SCORING IN FLAG FOOTBALL |
| |
Scoring is very similar in flag football as compared to tackle
football, but there are some differences when it comes to the extra
points. |
|
| |
- Touchdowns are worth six (6) points.
- Teams may go for a point after try where they can either get
one (1) point, two (2) points or three (3) points.
- No kicking is allowed for point after try.
- No field goals are allowed to get points if a team fails to
get the ball in the end zone after three downs. Team must go for
it on fourth down.
