The Benefits of Shifting from Tackle to Flag Football for Youth We analyze this potential development from five angles: Public health: Would delaying tackle football until high school make players safer?Youth participation: Would flag bring more children into the sport, or drive them away?Friday Night Lights: What impact, if any, might there be on high school football?Football industry: What could this mean for the NFL and college football, in terms of talent development, fan cultivation, and long-term bottom line?Civic life: How would a shift to flag impact the values promoted through the sport?
