Flag Football Equipment to Win More Games
Flag football is more commonly played at the recreational grade school and middle-school levels, or by high-schools lacking the numbers or budget to maintain a padded football program. The Colt blocking pad adds value to any program looking to create better players who can block or beat blocks more consistently.
Most flag football practices feature repetition of several drills focusing on agility and timing. Contact is very limited. The flag game places more emphasis on skill positions. Quickness, speed, and careful coordinating is a higher priority than strength or force.
However, there is still a need to teach the fundamentals of blocking to increase effectiveness protecting the quarterback and block shedding to get to the quarterback. The right technique will limit drive-stopping penalties and win you more games.
Traditional flag blocking drills require a half-speed approach, as there are no pads to shield a violent blow. The Colt and the Muzzle allow flag players to practice at full-speed, simulating a realistic game environment.
