Flag Football Equipment

The parents have met. The statements were all made, and the votes were tallied. You are now the new coach of a brand new flag football team for a group of ten to twelve year old kids. What is the first thing you need to do? There could be many answers to that one. But one thing is for certain. In order to play flag football, your team will have to have flag football belts and flags. The simple thing to do is to buy a flag football set.

A football set is all that is needed to start a team of players. Some sets are for ten men teams. Some are for twelve men teams. Then there is the Flag-A-Tag® Sonic flag football program kit that provides twenty-four belts with flags, two storage rings, and a flag football rule book for only $155.00 through the Sports Authority website.

Depending upon the style of flags will dictate the cost of the flag football set you choose. The hook and loop fastening system, which is most prevalent, is the least costly presenting prices that average right at $1.67 per player. The Triple Threat Flag Football set of twelve will average approximately $3.89 per player. The Flag-A-Tag® Sonic flag football program kit raises the average to $6.46 per player.

With the player belt sets you should also consider buying jersey sets for your team. There is a need to be consistent on this matter, for there must be a continuity of presentation of your team identification as you hit the field. Flag football jerseys are slightly different than traditional football jerseys because they are fitted to the true shoulder of the player and are not designed to fit over any shoulder pads. The best possible deal for the flag football set of choice on jerseys will probably rest with your local sporting goods store owner, for he will not only try to get you a good deal by volume for the jerseys, but you may be able to strike up a special deal for your team as a supporter beyond team spirit. There are a lot of ancillary pieces of equipment for individual player like shoes, shorts, and pants to consider.

Now along with determining just what flag football belt and flag set you need to buy, you also need to consider another flag football set for field equipment. Pro-Down Flag Football Sideline Markers Set provides sideline markers that lay out the standard twenty-yard zones between goal lines. The five-piece set sells for $199.99 from the Sports Authority website.

Okay, gather up your stuff. Get your assistants together, and go out and have some fun especially since you have done your homework and have gotten just what you need for your particular flag football set.
