Rising Momentum for Flag Football in India
A non-contact form of American football, flag football, in which players pull the flag rather than tackle the ball-carrier, has progressively taken root in India. The reason is that it is an inclusive game, fast-paced, and also has limited contact, making it more popular, particularly among women and youth.
Tournaments such as this national championship not only spur publicity on the sport, but also help develop local talent, and help India gain increased recognition on the international stage of flag football.
The American Flag Football National Championship, with its combination of athleticism, strategy and an up and coming grassroots appeal, is a bright spot in the history of sport in India. The fans will not be disappointed as teams clash in Hyderabad in the Gymkhana Grounds, one that may lead to the future success of flag football in India.
