There’s a lot of thinking that goes into a coach’s go-to flag football play. First and foremost, it has to be a play that players understand — and we all know that a play that a 6-year-old first-timer can remember (especially one who doesn’t always know left from right) is far, far different from the kind of misdirection and feats of timing that a team of experienced 13-year-olds can manage. 

On the MOJO app, we have both.

Here are the top 10 most popular plays from the NFL Flag Playbook on MOJO:
