How Do You Play Flag Football?

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

Two teams of five players each compete against each other.
To outscore your opponents by scoring touchdowns and converts.
One team, “the offense”, has possession of the ball and attempts to move the ball across their opponent’s goal line.
They do so by passing and running the ball towards their opponent’s goal line.
The opposition, the “defense” attempts to stop them from accomplishing the task.
Players attempt to stop the ball carrier by grabbing and removing one of the flags worn on each Player’s hips; this is referred to as “flagging” or non-contact tackling.
