2.0 out of 5 stars Not Much Use, January 25, 2006

By	kenu-raido - See all my reviews

If you don't know the rules, are new to football, etc., this book might have value.

The book is about 150 pages. The first 50 pages is dross, unless you are an absolute newbie. If you know the game at a basic level and want depth to help your flag team win some games, look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Flag Football Book IMO, March 29, 2006

By	S. TKACS (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The reason I bought this book was because I wanted a book that tought me things unique to flag football. There are plenty of books about coaching youth football, some of them very good. But I wanted a book that would give me the tools to SIMPLIFY football for children playing FLAG football. Most flag football leagues in the U.S. today are based on the NFL Flag Football rules and guidelines. That is, 5-on-5 with no blocking. I have played in adult flag football leagues, in a whole other part of the country, and the rules were consistent with the NFL Flag Football rules and guidelines. This book is completely about 8-on-8 football WITH BLOCKING. In fact, the book is repleat with plays and drills that are so complicated and blocking-heavy that it will not be very useful for coaching in most flag football leagues.
