Flag Football

My youngest grandson plays flag football. The players wear a strip of cloth on each side and the opposing player has to pull out one of the strips to stop them. They do this because they think tackle football is too rough for the younger players. I don't think these two players got the memo. Thankfully, no player was hurt in the taking of this photo. My grandson is not pictured either.

It looks attractive, but I think it is dangerous for the boys. Anyway,, the shot is attractive, Tick.

The clarity for such an action shot is amazing. This image has great action and humour and tells a story.

Nice shot of the youngsters doing a "flying tackle" in their own style. The young fellow looks rather determined to hold on.

I love the detail in the hair of the ball carrier and the sun glare protection on the lad in blue. Times have changed since you and I played little league sports. PF Flyers and a "line up over there" was pretty much the start of our games!! lol.

Holy Cow! What a capture, Ron. You get just one chance for a shot like this, gravity being in total control. Do you remember when you were able to leap sideways like this and survive? I hope you have a print gallery at home, of your better shots, so your visitors can be suitably wowed. Considering the images you've shown us over the years, it would likely be a large gallery. This one made my morning. -Nik

Wow that is some tackle ! Excellent (very excellent)action photo Tick.
We have something similar here - Touch Rugby.
Both my grandsons (10 and 6) play. They both know they are going to be world famous for it some day too !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Talented action capture! The male/female opponents make the shot even more interesting. Fantastico!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
