The receiver on the right does a 10-yard run, then cuts in at a 90-degree angle. Their assigned defenseman should follow them, leaving the right side of the field open. Then the back receiver can do a dragging slant to occupy that space for an easy catch.

Pro-tip: While this image shows one recommended spread of the receivers, any of these football plays can be adapted to have receivers in different locations. And these flag football plays 5 on 5 can be altered for 7 on 7. Personalize the plays to make them your own!

On hike, Receiver Z does a juke around their defenseman and a fly route for some long yardage. Receiver Y then does an option route toward the right sideline. This player will find themselves in the empty spot from the far receiver pushing the defense back. The center also pushes toward the right sideline for further options.

First, the center and Receiver Y do respective corner routes, thus drawing the defense scrambling back. From there, the other two receivers do staggered out plays of shorter distance. This way, receivers are open both for short and long yardage.

Receiver X and Receiver Y both do a seven-yard run, then a corner route. These are the recommended receivers if you need some long yardage. Receiver Z and the center do a five and out route, aiming for the sidelines. These spots should now be open for a quick catch, as the defense pushes backward to cover the first two players.

For this flag football play, all receivers line up to the right of the quarterback on the line of scrimmage. At hike, Receiver X does an option route at five yards, cutting a little toward the sideline. Receiver Y does an angled out at the five-yard line, and Receiver Z does a fly route. Then the center releases and does an angled corner route. This positions the players at staggered yardage, for various lengths of throws.

At hike, Receiver Z does a fly route, and Receiver Y does a corner route at seven yards. Meanwhile, Receiver X and the center do out and in routes, respectively. This should open up the inside receiver on the left side of the field, since the defense will be pulled to cover the receivers doing heavy yardage on the right.

For the twins formation for 5 on 5 flag football plays, think of the non-quarterbacks as two pairs, or twins. These two sets of twins stand close to each other at the beginning of the formation and compliment each other.

At this point, Receiver X and the center do quick in and out routes, respectively. These routes should both be at low yardage, so prepare for a quick pass. This route is perfect for closing a small gap for a first down.

At hike, Receiver Z runs a fly, where Receiver Y runs a five and out. Meanwhile, Receiver X does a slant into a fly. These three routes should draw away the defense from the middle, allowing for a quick throw to the center during an option route.

For this football play, after the quarterback calls hike, Receiver Z receiver does a post route and Receiver Y does a chair route. Meanwhile, Receiver X runs a corner and the safety releases into a five an out. The chair route is especially effective, as there are two changes in direction, opposed to the usual one.

At hike, Receiver X does an angled out route, after they hit the line of scrimmage. Receiver Y does an angled fly, and Receiver Z does a quick hitch route after crossing the line. Additionally, the center releases and does a corner route. This flag football play should draw the defense in all directions, leaving the middle particularly vulnerable.

Pro-tip: When using this football play, have Receiver Z stall their route a few seconds. This allows the other receivers and center to draw the defense away from the middle, leaving the hitch route less protected.

For this flag football play, Receiver X does a chair route at shallow yardage. Receiver Y then crosses Receiver X at a five and out. Receiver Z runs two slants and the center releases and runs a fly, opening up the play to some heavy yardage.

In the double back set formation for 5 on 5 flag football plays, two receivers stand on either side of the quarterback, a couple yards back. The last receiver stands farther from the quarterback at the line of scrimmage. These football plays demonstrate the final receiver starting on the right side, but they can be adapted for the left as well.

Upon hike, Receiver X does an out route at four yards, pushing toward the sideline. Receiver Z does a post route, and the center does a five and out. These routes should leave an opening in the center, perfect for Receiver Y to do a shallow hitch route.

After the ball is hiked, Receiver X does a post route for deep yardage. Receiver Y does an angled chair route for an equally deep distance. These routes should draw the defense backward, leaving more opening up close. Receiver Z then does an angled in route, and the center does an angled out. These players are your recommended targets if you need short yardage for a first down.

For this formation, the three receivers stand on one side of the quarterback stacked vertically. During our football plays we demonstrate the trips being on the far right side, but the stack can be located anywhere you prefer along the line of scrimmage.

At hike, Receiver X runs eight yards, then does a corner route. Receiver Y does an angled post route, and Receiver Z does an angled fly. All three of these routes drives the defense deep in the field, allowing the center to do a quick five and out for short yardage.

At hike, Receiver X does a short post route, and Receiver Y does a shallow out route aimed for the sideline. Receiver Z then does a hitch route at the 10-yard line, creating a deeper pass option. If none of the receivers are open, the center can release into a fly route for some heavy yardage.

For this flag football play, Receiver Y runs an eight yard in route, while Receiver Z does a deep post route. Both of these routes are deep for heavy yardage. Meanwhile, Receiver X does a shallow option route across the center, while the center releases for a five and out. These two players will be open for more shallow yardage.

In a 5 on 5 flag football single set formation, two receivers line up on the line of scrimmage, equal distances away from each other. The final receiver stands a few yards behind the quarterback. Keep in mind that distance between players can be adjusted for personal customization.

Need some deep yardage to snag that first down? This might be the perfect beginner 5 on 5 flag football play for you. Receiver Y does a deep corner route, while Receiver Z does an angled fly route after juking their defenseman. This should pull the defense deep and to the right. Meanwhile, Receiver X does an angled fly route to the left. If short yardage is more in the cards, the center can release for a five and out route.

Upon hike, Receiver Z runs a post route, meanwhile Receiver Y runs a corner route, both at deep yardage. Receiver X runs an angled fly route, opening up the shallow left side, where the center runs a five and out.

Safety pro-tip: Whenever players are set to cross in their routes in youth flag football plays, practice the plays ahead of time. It eliminates any hesitation players may have on the field, decreasing risk of injury. After all, every second counts during a 5 on 5 flag football game.

USA Football provides playbooks to certified coaches, members and enrolled organizations to help coaches compete! You'll find passing plays, running plays, and plays designed for various ways to play such as flag and Rookie Tackle.

To develop an effective running game, communication and coordination are essential. Your primary goal is to put the running back at the point of attack just as the hole is opening, using the right combination of timing and blocking.

The power play uses maximum blocking at the point of attack, sending all offensive backs through the same hole, lead blocking for the ball carrier, who is usually whichever back started farthest away from the hole.

The ball carrier will take one or two steps in away from the intended hole, before cutting back to receive the handoff and attack. The difference between a trap and a counter, is that in a trap you will see a guard on the back side of the play pull and lead block for the ball carrier.

The pitch or toss is run like the sweep, run out towards the sideline, except that the ball carrier does not come across the entire backfield. Sweep Here the quarterback will handoff or pitch to a back coming around from outside of the guard and trying to beat the defense around the corner to the sideline.

There are two kinds of option, the double, and the triple. In the triple option, the FB will dive inside and the QB will put the ball in his belly and ride with him, watching the defensive line. If the defense reacts to the fullback, the QB will pull the ball back and run for the outside, with the tailback staying at least three yards deep and outside of him at all times.

The offensive line will also usually double team a key defender, leaving another defender at the POA open to attack the QB. The QB will make the read based on this defender, either keeping it and turning upfield or pitching it out and behind to the TB. The double option is the same option without the fullback fake at the beginning.

To sell the draw, the offensive line has to drop back into pass protection, and the QB will take a dropback as if scanning the field for a pass. Then he hands the ball off, and the ball carrier will sprint past the defense after they
