150+ Chicago Girls Attend Pullman Flag Football Camp for Skill Development & Community Building
✨ Coach, Parents & Player Tips
Coach’s Clipboard: Add pre-snap motion—send a receiver sprinting across the formation to force defenders to shift, then attack the gap they vacate like a heat-seeking missile (and yes, it’s fun to watch their heads spin).
Postgame Parents: Help your defender learn to funnel opponents toward the sideline—have them run parallel like a trusty corral before pouncing in for the flag pull. Using the boundary as an extra teammate turns wild chases into easy traps (and gives you bragging rights on the sideline!).
Players Snap: Declare a “no solo celebrations” rule—if you chest-bump yourself after a play, you lead the next drill for the team. Ego fumbles unity faster than a wet ball, so we win and hype together.
