What is Flag Football?
Flag football is a fast, non-contact version of American football where instead of tackling, players pull a flag from their opponent’s belt. It’s safe, fun, and easy to pick up — no matter your experience level.
As part of BAFA (British American Football Association), we compete in the national league while keeping the sport welcoming and accessible.
For the Rhondda Red Kites, flag football means community, energy, and balance. We train hard, play harder, and make sure everyone can fit the game around work, study, and life.
💡 Easy to learn 🔥 Energetic 🤝 Inclusive
🎯 Competitive & fun
James is, and always has been, passionate about sport and the physical as well as mental benefits it brings. The opportunity to play organised team sports can be challenging, with professional, family, and personal commitments requiring the focus they deserve — often meaning time for physical exercise is limited.
When James first thought about founding the Red Kites, its inception was with the aim of providing a high-energy, fast-paced, and accommodating space for people to engage in sport and physical exercise that recognises the demands of everyday life.
At the Red Kites, effort is valued above everything. Regardless of ability, players are supported to develop and compete. The Red Kites value community, and expect all players and coaches to be supportive, inclusive, and committed to driving the club forward in a united fashion.
