The key to a fantastic youth flag football season? Practice, yes, and perseverance, too — but also a solid flag football playbook.

Great flag football plays are flexible and full of surprises. But it takes time to commit a set of 8 or 10 plays to memory. How many yards behind the quarterback should the X receiver be? Which side of the field should your Y receiver be? Which side of the quarterback is your Z receiver? What is the center doing? It’s worth running through a couple go-to plays at every practice, so they become like muscle memory when it counts: game day.

Here are 10 youth flag football plays straight from the NFL Flag Playbook that are guaranteed to help your team scramble the defense.
