Flag football gaining popularity quickly in the UK
Flag football is gaining popularity in the UK, with participation expected to reach 100,000 by 2026. The New York-based NFL is promoting the sport as a less violent alternative to rugby and full-contact American football. Teams like the Northants Ducks and London Fruit Bats are seeing an increase in demand. The sport has been included in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the NFL has switched its Pro Bowl match to flag football. The game involves grabbing flags instead of tackling, making it safer for children. Schools and clubs are being supported by the NFL and professional teams, with opportunities for international tournaments. Players enjoy the strategic aspects of the game and different roles available based on strengths.
