9 Fun Flag-Pulling Drills | Flag Football Drills by MOJO

Flag pulling is at the heart of flag football. If you can’t pull a flag, you can’t stop a play — and if you can’t stop a play, you’re not going to win a game. But flag pulling can also be a tricky skill for players who are new to the game — which is why coaches should focus on technique early on. Good technique is about a lot more than just grabbing a flag. It’s about teaching players to watch a player’s waist, aim for the top of the flag belt and use proper footwork every time they attempt to pull the flags — then, doing it over and over again until it’s second nature.
