Flag football drills for 14 year olds
What a 14 year old can practice at home: drills the app opens at this age, what changes in flag football this year, how long and how often, what to have at home, and a free week to start.
By Coach Evan Waechtler Youth coach (U11, Cache Valley, Utah) and founder of SSTracker Updated October 30, 2026
Flag football rules are set league by league, and no national body we could read sets rules that change by age, so this page keeps to SSTracker's own age rules.
At 14
The age at a glance
- This year
- Flag football stays no-contact at every age. In tackle football, SSTracker shows tackling and blocking drills from 14, with a coach, a helmet and pads; never at home.
- Drills this year
- Advanced drills start this year, and so do the drills SSTracker holds back until 14, such as box jumps and any drill with contact.
- Flag rules
- No blocking, no tackling, no contact: pull the flag, not the player, and never guard your flag. Stay on your feet; no diving for flags.
- Contact
- Flag football stays no-contact at every age. In tackle football, SSTracker shows tackling and blocking drills from 14, with a coach, a helmet and pads; never at home.
- At 14
- Organized sport in all: no more hours a week than the child's age (NATA), so at most 14 hours for a 14 year old, with two rest days a week.
- At home
- SSTracker keeps one home session for a 14 year old within 60 minutes and plans at most 5 home days a week, with rest days between.
