I am a captain of an American flag football team in my scho- at my college.
It's an intramural team.
And it consists of fourteen to fifteen players.
While seven people play, on the field at once.
The object of the game well, it's like American football. If you're not familiar with that you there's a, there's a football. I wouldn't know how to describe a football.
Um, and you have to score, points by carrying the football or throwing the football past the end line which is the goal line.
In flag football there's no contact.
Where ... As in American football there is heavy contact.
Um, but in flag football people wear belts, with flags taped onto the belt.
And the object is to remove the flag, from the belt before they get over the goal line.
And if you do that you stop them, and they don't score.
Um, person with more points wins.
A very fun sport.
Um, oh yeah, I'm the captain of it.
I play, I play, um, position of wide receiver.
Who the, the position of wide receiver calls for you to, catch passes and, run real fast.
