  1. Flag Football The following are the flag football rules and practices used at Thompson!

  2. Scoring • Touchdown = 6 points • Safety = 2 points • PAT = 1 point (for run) • PAT = 2 points (for pass)

  3. Player Positions • Offensive players and their major responsibilities: • Center- hikes the ball to QB and blocks • Guards- line up at each side of the center and blocks • Wide receivers- line up at the ends of line and run routes down the field to catch a pass • Quarterback- receives the ball from the center and directs the play by passing or handing off • Running backs- assist the QB by blocking or receiving a handoff to run or throw *all offensive players are eligible pass receivers and can be involved in passing plays

  4. Defense • Defensive players line up to cover the playing field by guarding the offensive players. • They attempt to prevent them from running or passing the football for a first down or score.

  6. Today’s Activity: • Groups of 3 • Positions: QB, Center, Wide Receivers • Drill: center snaps the ball to the QB while the WR runs down the field for a pass from the QB • Rotate: center-QB-WR-center

  7. Kick-off • The football is punted from the 20 yd. marker • Teammates must remain behind the ball until it is kicked • The ball must go 10 yd. or it is rekicked • If the ball goes out of bounds it is played from the yard line where it went out

  8. Punts • The receiving team can catch the ball or cleanly field it from the ground and run • The kicking team may touch the ball to down it and stop play • The ball is played from where it stops if it is not touched

  9. Down Play • The offense has 4 chances to advance the ball to the next zone • Once a team reaches the next zone, it is a 1st down with 4 more chances • If the team fails to reach the next zone, it is a turn of on downs • The defense gets the ball at the spot where the offense had possession

  10. Punt or Play • On the 4th down the offense declares to the defense if they are going to punt or play • Punt to improve their field position • Play to use the last down to get to the next zone

  11. Score • Touchdown is when the football is carried or caught in the end zone • PAT point(s) lines up on the 3 yd. line and has one chance to move the ball into the end zone • Scoring team kick to the opposing team after the score using the kick-off rules

  12. Passing • The QB or any other player may pass the ball forward from behind the LOS • The ball may be passed laterally (to side) or backward from any place on the field

  13. Incomplete Pass • A thrown football that is not caught • The play goes to the next down • It is played from the previous LOS

  14. 5 Second Rush Rule • Defense must count 5 seconds before crossing the LOS • Once the QB crosses the LOS or hands off to another player, the 5 second rush rule does not apply

  15. Dead Ball: Play stops when: • Defense pulls flag of ball carrier • Turn-over-on downs • Fumble • Out-of-bounds • Score • Penalty • Incomplete pass
