Girls & youth flag
Flag QBs deserve real QB coaching.
Most QB training is built for tackle. Flag has its own reads, its own timing and its own rush. I train girls and youth flag QBs for the 5-on-5 game they actually play.
5-on-5 reads
Fewer defenders, faster decisions
Read the coverage
Man, zone and the common flag looks, identified before the snap.
Beat the rush
Quick footwork and a clean release inside the rush count.
Use the space
Finding the open receiver on a wide-open 5-on-5 field.
Throw with touch
Ball placement that lets receivers catch and keep running.
Girls flag is growing. The coaching hasn't caught up.
Girls flag football is one of the fastest-growing parts of the game, but there are very few QB coaches training for it.
Sessions use the same structure as 1-on-1 training, adapted to flag rules and 5-on-5 spacing. Parents are always welcome to watch.
