EQUIPMENT:
*Jerseys, Flag Belts, and a mouth guard must be worn each week. Your jersey and flags, plus any additional merchandise you ordered during your registration, will be given to you at the Meet & Greet. Your player must have a mouth guard to participate. Bring your own, or conveniently purchase at NFL FLAG Table for $5.00 Cash/Venmo/CashApp.
*Athletic pants or shorts without pockets should be worn for practice & games. If a participant wears shorts/pants with pockets, the pockets must be taped down to prohibit players' hands or fingers getting caught when pulling flags. We recommend purchasing NFL FLAG Pocket-less Shorts during Registration (but this is not mandatory). The shorts will match the NFL team jersey.
*Participants can wear any type of plastic molded cleats, athletic shoes or sneakers. No metal cleats.
