Thank you for your purchase! You are now on your way to having a better season. It doesn’t
matter how successful your team was last year, this year you have to do something different to
improve. These plays should help your team improve. Also, included with your purchase is a
subscription to our newsletter “First and Goal”. The “First and Goal”, newsletter is an information
resource for beginning and veteran flag football players alike. In it you’ll find tips, drills and ideas
to make you flag football participation more enjoyable. Come to our website
www.usaflagfootball.com often to view savings on football supplies and equipment. Our website
is a resource for everything related to flag football.

As you begin to examine these plays I have designed, you may find some are easier to follow
than others. Keep in mind that these plays should be use similar to a road map. A road map is
only a guide to get you from point “A” to point “B”. A road map does not take into account what
kind of car you drive, road terrain, time of day or traffic conditions. It is only designed to get you
from here to there. It’s up to you to decide which route is the fastest to take.

Now here comes the find print. These plays will not work if you do not study and rehearse them.
PRACTICE – PRACTICE – PRACTICE.

Once your team get use to understanding these plays the chemistry will fall into place.
I recommend that you only use 5 – 10 plays per game. Good teams only need about 3 or 4 good
plays to dismantle a defense. Your team can literally run one play over and over until the defense
stop it. If one play works, repeat it until the opposing team stop it. Flag football is about rhythm
execution. Running different plays every time not only confuses the opposing defense but your
team as well.

I could go on and on about my philosophy using these plays while playing flag football. However
it really does matter. These plays don’t take into account the talent of your team. Some of these
plays work better with quarterback who is more mobile. While others works better with teams
with a quaterback who’s better in the pocket. My recommendation is to practice one play at a
time. Don’t attempt to learn all 100 plays. Take time to learn 1- 5 plays at a time. Each play has
6 routes, therefore that’s 6 options per play. This playbook has 600 options! Even though my
team has access to over hundreds of plays, we only use the ones that work with the talent of the
team. Our team has about 3 plays that work every time. The other 97 plays are only setup plays.
Find your 3 best plays and use the others to setup up the better ones.

If your guys have little time to practice here is what I suggest, arrive a minimum 30mins before
game time. Take out one play and rehearse it before the game. This play should be the first play
you run in the game. If it works, that’s great you now have one play in your game plan. Use half
time to make adjustments and run the same play at the start of the second half. If you play a 10
game season you will have mastered 10 plays for the playoffs.

I’m now in preparation for writing “The 20 rules to managing a championship flag football team”.
This book has taken me 20 years to develop and each year I add another year. Every year I
meet new people like your self and I learn new things every year. Thanks again for your
purchase and email me from time to time to tell me how things going with your team. I’ll be happy
to help out all I can. Good luck this season!

INTRO: Defense is the best part about football. Everyone loves offense and wants to be a "star",
but it's defense that wins championships, and defense that wins Mud and Slush Bowls. If you
don't love defense, please EXIT now!

In flag football, it is extremely crucial that everyone swarms to the ball. Why? If the first person
misses or doesn't pull the flag, the others have to pull it. Defense in flag football is very tight and
exact. There is a lot of room to screw up. Make sure you have everyone pulling the flag. Don't
assume that the first guy there will always get the flag.

Defense:
In this scheme, the cornerbacks (CB) are playing man to man coverage. While the safety (S) and
linebacker (L) are playing in a modified zone. The defensive line (X) is rushing the QB.

In this scheme, the linebacker and safety are the key players, make sure they are the smartest
most experienced, savvy football players on your team. Especially in flag football. It's not about
size and strength, it's about speed and intelligence. Do they know who to cover and when? Read
to find out.

Corners:
Guard you receivers man to man. Stick on them. Call help if you man gets loose. It's a very basic
position.

D-Line:
Rush the QB like mad. The linebacker (L) may also line up with you and pretend to rush, but will
ultmately drop back to cover the QB. The linebacker may blitz, consult with safety. Switch the D-
line players often if you have subs. Their job is tiring, and having fresh legs is wonderful. Every
two downs, is optimal for subbing D-line players. Being fast and fresh is the key. No O-line or QB
will be able to take this type of punishing pressure down after down. Let them get tired, not you.

Linebacker:
Watch the QB and don't let him run. Roll to the right when he does, and cut off all running lanes.
In flag football, QBs love running, and if no one is watching, the QB will get a lot of yards on you.
The Linebacker will also have to pick up offensive linemen that go out for a pass. Danger: The
QB may fake a run out to one side, drawing the linebacker with him, and then an offensive
lineman releases for a pass on the other side. The safety will have to be watching this, and run up
to make the play. Linebackers and safeties have to know their positions, coordinate and talk to
each other. The game will be won or lost by the play of the Linebackers and Safety.

Safety:
The Safety is the defensive QB, especially in flag football. He is to lead the defensive team. His
role is to cover anyone who get loose. If a wide receiver is getting open deep, he covers and
helps out. If an offensive lineman goes out, he has to cover him if the line backer is busy. If he
sees a nice blitz opportunity, he can tell a cornerback to blitz, while he picks up the slack. If a
corner blitzes, the linebacker covers the now open wide receiver short, and safety covers him
deep. Can a safety blitz? Sure, because he is the extra guy. Let the linebacker know you are
blitzing, so he can pick up your zone. The Safety and Linebacker are the two most crucial position
on defense. Don't screw this up!
