POSITIONS CHART

Football is the ultimate team sport. Every play is designed like a machine, with each individual doing their part to keep things running. If one person fails, the entire team could fail.  

It’s the same story whether you’re on offense or defense. Every football position serves a purpose, especially in flag football where you’ll find fewer players on the field. While tackle football consists of 11 players, NFL FLAG football teams compete 5 on 5. So, the positions in football differ depending on how many players there are. 

If you’re new to 5 on 5 flag football, this football positions 5 on 5 chart will help you get a better understanding of where each player starts on the line of scrimmage and what their role is on the field.
