According to the International Federation of American Football, 2.4 million kids under 17 are playing organized flag football in the U.S., while millions more participate in flag globally.
IFAF is the global governing body responsible for growing American football around the world and oversees the regulation, competition, performance, and development parts of the game.
“Tackle [football] will continue as the professional game played in the NFL and its amateur pipeline from youth through college,” said Vincent, Sr. “But flag will dominate in neighborhoods, schools and recreational leagues around the world. It’s happening in front of our eyes.”
