Flag Football

Flag football is offered as a Unified Sport.  The season begins in August and concludes in early October with a tournament.  Most recently, we practiced Thursday nights in Watertown.

​

Flag football is a non-contact sport. Games are 2 18 minute halves. 5 players for each team are on the field at a time, 3 Special Olympic athletes and 2 Unified Partners.  We use a youth sized football.

​

Wild West provides a jersey which is returned at the end of the season.  SOMN provides a 3-flag belt at the tournaments.  All players must wear a mouth guard.

​

Individual skills competition is available for athletes who need assistance on the field or who are not ready to play 5v5 football.  Skills include:  throwing for accuracy, throwing for distance, run and catch, and agility and speed.
