Local Competitive UTAH Youth Flag Football

Youth Flag Football in Salt Lake City

Major Flag Football is a youth 6-on-6 flag football league serving families throughout Salt Lake County, including Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Murray, Sugar House, East Millcreek, Olympus, Skyline, and the greater Salt Lake City area.

Our goal is simple: give kids more opportunities to play, learn, compete, and have fun.

With our 6-on-6 format, players stay involved throughout the game and get more opportunities to throw, catch, run, defend, pull flags, and make plays.

Why Families Choose Major Flag Football

More Touches. More Reps. More Confidence.

Our 6-on-6 format keeps players involved. With fewer players on the field, kids have more opportunities to touch the football, make plays, and develop real football skills.

We want players to leave the season with more confidence, better skills, and a greater love for the game.

Built for the Way Kids Play Football

Major Flag Football is a competitive league, but we believe kids can compete hard while still having fun and learning the game.

Our divisions are structured around the natural progression of youth football, giving players the opportunity to take on more responsibility as they get older.

Coach Quarterback in Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Kindergarten and 1st Grade players play with a coach quarterback.

This allows our youngest players to get comfortable with the game, compete, make plays, and learn the fundamentals of flag football before taking over at quarterback.

Player Quarterbacks Starting in 2nd Grade

Starting in 2nd Grade, players take over at quarterback.

Players begin developing their passing, decision-making, timing, leadership, and overall understanding of the game.

This also creates a natural transition as players get older and begin experiencing more traditional forms of football, including tackle football.

Competitive, But Still Fun

Major Flag Football is competitive youth football.

We keep scores and standings, play competitive games, and finish the season with championship games. At the same time, we want kids to have fun, play with their friends, compete with good sportsmanship, and enjoy being on the football field.

We believe the best leagues do both: they give kids a chance to compete while creating an experience they want to come back to.
