I want to add flag football to physical education (P.E.). This sport is important to me because I think that if we play this then we could play regular football. I think that we would be able to play regular football because would have the basics down so then we would just have to learn the other rules to the game. Please read my essay and think about this.

Flag football games are usually shorter than tackle football games. A game is often played in two 18-minute halves instead of four 15-minute quarters.

Plus you do not have to be a certain age to play you could be 5 and play or you could be 50, and you could still play. This is a life sport some people forget about it, but it matters. If you learn flag football than you could probably play football. Even though the rules are a little different, you could learn the new rules too, and you would already have the basics
