Title: Youth Flag Football
Post by: gryphon1911 on September 16, 2019, 03:06:33
American football, but instead of tackling the players to the ground, they just need to grab the flag from the players waist belt.

Nikon D500, Z6
Tamron 70-200/2.8 G2, Nikon 300/4E PF

Andrew, well shot with nice action.  I remember playing PeeWee Football about 67 years ago but a few broken bones in the local area meant a transition to Flag (also cheaper  ;) ) .
Your Kickball was a surprise.   I did not know adults played.   As kids we used to play in vacant lots.  Some funny images.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane  :) .

Interesting to see this and nice results Andrew.

Looks like a similar principle to Touch Rugby that is played by kids in the uk.
It works well as once pure size & brute force is less of a factor, it encourages skill, speed & manoeuvering.
Plus girls are much happier to join in.

Nice series Andrew.

I just hope that this form of football with the flag system reduces the incidence of head injuries.

Very well done! As said, already you captured the action and emotions beautifully.
