Pickup football is alive and well — and it's more organized than people think. From flag football leagues to casual touch games in the park, there are games happening every weekend across the country.


Flag Football

Flag football is the most common pickup format. It's safer, allows all ages, and is surprisingly competitive. Many cities have organized flag football pickup days at local parks.

Touch Football
