Boise Flag Football - Optimist Flex Flag Program

Flex1

Flex Flag Football bridges the gap between flag and tackle for the first time.  The addition of soft-shell equipment enables Flex Flag to build on the benefits of flag football by introducing key concepts that have historically been reserved for the tackle game. These include directional blocking for the offensive line and rushing and pursuit angles for the defense.

Flex Flag is the ultimate experience to develop true football fundamentals and teach proper technique while keeping the head out of the game.

Flex Flag is flag football taken to the next level, it allows for players to work on schemes, technique, and timing, preparing them in ways that traditional flag football does not.

The athlete wears a soft helmet, soft pads and jersey. Through the experience, competition, progression, or just plain fun, athletes get what they want from the game with Flex Flag.

Like NFL off-season practices, Flex Flag focuses on fundamentals, football IQ, and physical development, but in the form of gameplay. High-tempo and low impact, it’s a great tool for accessibility and development in the game of football.
