The Town of Archer Lodge fall flag football program offers an exciting and inclusive way to enjoy the sport of football without the physical contact associated with traditional tackle football. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, our program provides a fun and safe environment for players of all ages and skill levels.

Participants will learn the fundamental skills of football, including passing, catching, running, and flag-pulling techniques. Coaches will focus on developing teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play, creating an atmosphere that promotes both individual growth and camaraderie among team members.

Our program emphasizes the importance of safety by replacing tackling with the use of flags worn by each player. When an offensive player with the ball has their flag pulled by a defender, the play is considered down. This rule eliminates unnecessary physical contact, making flag football a great option for those who prefer a non-contact sport.

Whether you're looking to stay active, learn new skills, or simply have fun with friends, our flag football program offers an excellent opportunity to engage in a thrilling sport that combines strategy, athleticism, and camaraderie. Join us today and be a part of the flag football excitement!
