Welcome to NFL FLAG Alabama!
We are incredibly excited to bring NFL FLAG to this great state! NFL FLAG is a fun and accessible, non-contact flag football program for girls and boys ages 4-17. Created by the NFL with an emphasis on football fundamentals and community involvement, NFL FLAG empowers youth athletes across the nation.
NFL FLAG Alabama is a new and unique statewide flag league initiative managed directly by NFL FLAG and in partnership with the Alabama Recreation & Park Association and the Alabama High School Athletic Association. The purpose of NFL FLAG Alabama is to create innovative ways to ensure youth in the state can play this great game that we love and introduce new initiatives that can be replicated nationwide for all NFL FLAG leagues.
Here at NFL FLAG Alabama, our mission is to make sure all children, regardless of financial barriers have the opportunity to participate. For that reason, a portion of proceeds from every registration will be dedicated to serving the youth in your community. It is not enough for us to just be in the community, we will be a part of it.
As an NFL FLAG Alabama customer, you can expect a safe and encouraging environment for your participant(s) regardless of race, sex, creed, or ability. An environment that will not only allow your child(ren) to enhance their skills and knowledge in the game of flag football but also apply lessons of teamwork, commitment, communication, resilience, leadership, and sportsmanship both on and off the field.
We look forward to the opportunity to host you and your family in one of our upcoming seasons. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]

Why NFL FLAG?
Flag football is one of the fastest-growing youth sports in the country—and it’s easy to see why. As a non-contact team sport, kids get all the physical, emotional, and social benefits of playing football, without physical contact. But more than anything, flag football is pure fun—no matter your skill level. Teams compete 5 on 5, creating tons of engagement on the field at a fast-moving pace.
Here’s why over 500,000 athletes choose NFL FLAG football:
- Nail the fundamentals: Whether you’re new to the game, a seasoned player, or interested in making the transition to tackle, flag football is the perfect environment to develop your skills and improve your technique.
- Convenient commitment: We know your schedule is already jam-packed. That’s why NFL FLAG teams meet once per week to briefly practice before games on Sunday afternoons for 7 week long seasons.
- Non-contact sport: Simply put: no contact is allowed—like tackling, blocking, and screening—making flag football the right choice for many families. Plus, no contact also means no bulky, expensive equipment.
- Accessibility: Everyone can play flag football. You don’t need a specific build or skill set. And with NFL FLAG leagues being co-ed, everyone can join in on the fun.
- Play like the pros: NFL FLAG is the only flag football league that allows players to wear officially licensed NFL gear.
