Flag Football

We began our Flag Football unit about two weeks ago.

We have worked on throwing, fingers on the laces.  Arm in L shape, step with the opposite foot.
Catching.  Catching against our chest with two hands or catching it out of the air with our thumbs and pointer finger helping make a diamond shape.

We worked on kicking last week.  Kicking field goals and understanding how many points they are worth. When do we kick?  When do we punt?  What is a field goal?

We are working on positions this week.  Quarterback, center, wide receiver and running back.
What each position does and how do we implement this?  We are practicing each position.  EAch student should have worked on each position by the end of this week.  What are downs? 1st down, second down, third down and fourth down.  Also, we have worked on scoring.

Next week is a flag football tournament.  We will teach them how to pull flags rather then push the players.  This cuts way down on injuries and they have a ton of fun doing it!!

Go Chargers!
