What is pass interference in flag football?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In general, interference is a deliberate act, with contact, to impede a receiver from catching a pass...or an act by a receiver to prevent defensing a pass (offensive pass interference).

It is most often hitting or grabbing the receiver before the pass arrives, or a receiver shoving a defender away. If the pass has not been thrown when a defensive penalty occurs, the lesser penalty of illegal contact will apply instead.

The rules are different in each level of play (high school, NCAA, NFL), as are the penalties applied.

Well in tackle football you have to 4 downs to make it all the way to the endzone. In flag football if the flag on your belt is pulled you have a little more time to make a score.

-----------------------------------------------------

90% of rules in Flag versus Tackle are the same. In flag, you cannot make blows to other players including when you block. But the specifics vary from local league to local league. Players must all have two flags on a belt that can be pulled off. When pulled off the play is dead right there. That is the equivalent to a tackle. In flag there are no fumbles. If the ball is dropped it is blown dead because you don't want unprotected players diving on the ground for a loose football. In tackle, you have full gear, including a helmet, pants, and shoulder pads.

There are subtle differences between Pee-wee, Jr Pee-Wee, and grasscutters in tackle. For instance, all kids of a certain weight must have a stripe on their helmet and line up between the offensive tackles.

In Middle School, Freshman, JV and Varsity all the rules are typically same and governed by the NFHS. Your local flag football association has rule books you can get that show the rule exceptions to between their rules and those of the NHFS.

Does football relieve stress caused from school?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I personally played football, and I actually highly preferred the defense side of football.I believe it was for that very reason. I loved to tackle and hit people, weird as it sounds. I feel the ball carrier was subjected to that pent up frustration and stress. It was brutal at times, allegedly I tackled my way into a concussion in one game, as

I believe every hit and tackle I made on defense was therapeutic, if you love defense as I did, there's nothing better than laying down a great hit on an offensive player. It's the pure physicality of it, it comes so naturally after you get how it works (Defensive schemes/fundamentals). I sincerely miss that.

I have done meditation, also, and it was similar in some essence (i.e. stress relief)

In football what is flag guarding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The guard is the position on the offensive line that is directly to the right or left of the center (there is a right and left guard). Next to the guards on the outside are the offensive tackles. The guards protect the quarterback on passing plays, and run block (run up the field blocking) on running plays. On running plays the guard can pull meaning after the snap he quicly runs over to the other side of the line and blocks for the running back. This leaves a hole on the side he was originally on but gives the side the running-back is running to an extra blocker.

How do you play flag football?

Coin toss determines who gets the ball first. Whoever wins the coin toss, chooses to kick or receive the punt, and then they go from there

One team kicks the ball as far down the field as possible, so that the opposing team has the furthest to run to get to the other side of the field, which would be a touchdown, 6 point. This is done only if they get to that big colored rectangle, the endzone, near that big yellow fork in the ground, which is the field goal, or the uprights, as it is sometimes called.

Once a team has the ball, and whoever caught it is brought down/tackled, they begin to fight for position, with the team with the ball trying to force their way toward the endzone to score, which is done by traveling 10-12 yards to a first down, which is always the goal, until they get at least halfway downfield. If someone that has the ball is tackled/brought down 5 times, the other team gets the ball right wherever it was last.

However, if it is the fourth down, the team with the ball usually kicks it to other team, instead of letting them have the ball where it is, which would make it easier for that team to score, as they are closer to scoring than they would be in they received a punt

Also, the ball is forced down the field one of two ways. The first way is passing, and that is done when the quarterback, the QB, backs up from his team and, whle trying not to get taken out, is able to throw the ball to one of his teammates that are "open" and able to catch the ball, trying not to let the defenders catch the pass instead of the intended recipient, the wide receiver, which would be an interception, which can also happen if someone is hit while running with the ball (a fumble).

The other way is by passing it off to the full back, the fastest big man, so that he can find a way through the defense to get as far down the field as possible, but at least to the first down within 4 attempts.

A touchdown, the biggest score, is 6 points, though after that, a team can try to kick the ball though the yellow fork for another point, which is comparatively easier than going for the 2 point completion. The completion, an extra 2 point move (making a 8 point play) is done by either running it in to the endzone or by passing it in, which is more dangerous the closer you are to the endzone, as the defenders are closer together, and everyone is bumping into each other.

Keep the opponent's offense from getting first downs and eventually scoring.
