Compared with collision football, American flag football is a relatively safe "non-collision" sport. I want to give you some information about American flag football, hoping to help you.

Brief introduction of American flag football

American flag football is one of the ball games in which the hand dominates the ball, the two teams attack and defend alternately, and the ball can't land. Waist flag rugby is very interesting because of its simple technique, diverse tactics and appropriate exercise load. This sport is not only full of fast running, agile dodging skills and difficult clearance tactics, but more importantly, as a team sport, it has extremely high requirements for players' cooperative spirit. Because it evolved from adult football into a special event for teenagers, it has technical and tactical characteristics that other ball games do not have.

Basic situation of American flag football

American flag football is a popular sport that originated from NFL. Compared with formal football, the rules of flag football prohibit hugging and pushing. The attack stopped when the flag on the attacker's belt was pulled down by the defender. This is a safe "no collision" campaign, which is carried out among teenagers in more than 30 countries around the world. Every year, the NFL hosts the National Flag Football World Cup, and this year's World Cup will be held in Canada in August. At that time, there will be 10 teams and 60 athletes from Japanese, German, Canadian and China, and the China Youth Team will participate in this world competition for the first time.

Characteristics of American flag football

When the game is attacking, the ball cannot land.

In the process of using skills in the game, the ball can't land, otherwise it will be considered as a staged attack failure. After starting the attack, the quarterback should pass the ball properly and try to reduce the cooperation mistakes with the receiver's attack. Therefore, people who participate in flag football can get a better sense of time and space than other ball games.

Allow all parts of the body to touch the ball.

At present, other ball games have legal contact parts that restrict the body, but there are some similarities between flag football and volleyball. The rules stipulate that athletes can touch the ball anywhere on their bodies, and the attack fails after the ball lands. Therefore, flag football can allow participants in this project to fully demonstrate their self-ability and various superb physical skills in the process of catching the ball.

There are specific attacks.

The rules of offensive competition are different from other events. In each half-court attack, the attacker is allowed four chances to cross the midfield or score a touchdown. If you don't touch the ground after halftime, you will have four more offensive opportunities. Therefore, participating in flag football can cultivate players' ability to think and solve problems and fully strengthen the team's combat capability.

This is a safe collision-free exercise.

Flag football is highly antagonistic, but the rules limit excessive physical contact, mainly by tearing off the flag of the attacking players with the ball to stop the attack, so as to avoid unnecessary injuries caused by collisions between players. Therefore, participating in this sport can not only effectively protect the athletes' health, but also lose the fierce antagonism of the competition.

Information about American flag football

A brand-new sport has appeared in many middle schools in Beijing-on a reduced football field, 10 children are fighting fiercely, but there is no collision. All the children are fighting for is a small flag with roots at the waist. This is the popular sport of American football-flag football, also known as "collision-free" football.

In the flag football training camp, I found hundreds of students from 24 middle schools running and shouting with great interest. The defender's children have no physical contact with the ball carrier, but try their best to pull the waist flag on the ball carrier's belt, and the ball carrier can't deliberately protect the waist flag. This is a popular sport that originated from the National Football League of the United States. Participants can only be teenagers aged 8 to 14. Moreover, compared with some "violent" regular rugby sports, flag rugby is not allowed to push and hug people, and the only way to stop the attack is to pull down the flag of the player holding the ball. Because the rules do not allow players to deliberately protect the waist flag from being pulled down, players must raise their arms and expose the waist flag when running. If your arm blocks the flag when you run, the referee will think it is a foul.

What are the benefits of flag football for these children? This is a question of many parents and teachers. Goodton, vice president of NFL International, said: "Waist flag football is not only full of fast running and amazing skills and tactics to solve difficulties, but more importantly, as a team sport, it has extremely high requirements for players' cooperative spirit. For most of the only-child teenagers in China, practicing flag football can cultivate their teamwork ability to fight side by side with their peers, and enhance their cohesion and sense of collective honor. "

It is reported that young people in China will soon be able to watch the World Flag Football Masters, because Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai will decide a champion team to participate in the Flag Football World Cup hosted by the NFL and learn skills with athletes from nine other countries.
