Flag football plays that move the chains
PlayForge draws non-contact, age-appropriate flag football plays for 5v5 and 7v7 leagues. Each play comes with a clear diagram, one-line assignments, and built-in adjustments for common defensive looks.

Built for non-contact rules
Flag football changes blocking, rushing, and downfield timing. The generator keeps everything inside your league rules:
- —No offensive line blocking assignments — routes and quick throws come first.
- —Pass-heavy installs with 5 eligible receivers in 7v7 and spread spacing in 5v5.
- —Short, easy reads for youth; layered concepts and progressions for older teams.
- —Defensive calls focus on coverage shells and flag-pull angles, not tackling.
Simple assignments, fast installs
Every generated play ships with a single-line job for each player. Young athletes do not need a playbook glossary — just a route, a landmark, and a read.
- —Landmarks are tied to field markers and hash marks.
- —QB progression is written in plain language: "read flat → crosser → safety valve."
- —Install tips scale from one drill for 6-year-olds to full-team reps for high school.
Example diagrams
Spread trips look. The crosser pulls zone coverage and opens the flat for the running back.
Three-man side overloads the defense while the mesh creates a natural pick for an easy completion underneath.
