Red Light Flag Guard

Updated November 3, 2026 · 1 min read

Setup

Runners at one end of a 20-yard area, defenders in the middle. You need: Flag belts.

How it runs

1. Runners try to get to the other side.
2. Any stiff arm, hand on the flag or jump: the coach yells "red light!" and she's out.
3. Spins are allowed.

Coach it

• Arms away from the flags.
• Ball tucked away from the defender, not covering the belt.
• Juke and spin, don't guard.
