 When people think of flag football, they generally think, well, this is a pretty easy sport. However, the hand-eye coordination it takes to grab a one-inch vinyl strip off of someone's hip as you are running towards each other at full speed, it's a little more complicated than people think. I tell kids all the time, I grew up playing football, and I would rather tackle someone than pull a flag. It's a lot easier to hit the body than to pull a flag.
