FLAG FOOTBALL EQUIPMENT
Flag Football Gear
Flag football flags and belt. Every player receives an official NFL FLAG football belt, either from their coach or league organizer. Players wear belts with flags that hang along their sides and opponents have to pull the flags off of the ball-carrier’s belt.
NFL Flag team jersey. Every player receives a team jersey upon registration.
Shorts. Every player receives team shorts upon registration. It’s important to wear shorts that don’t have pockets. This allows the belt and flags to be visible at all times, avoiding unnecessary penalties. It also is a safety precaution so that fingers don’t get stuck when attempting to remove the flag.
Mouthguard. This is the only protective gear that players wear. We recommend having a backup pair in your bag, just in case.
Football cleats. Metal cleats are not allowed in flag football.
Football gloves (optional). Some players prefer to use football gloves, which give extra grip to help control the ball. These aren’t required, though.
