A practical decision-making guide for flag football coaches: possessions, conversions, scouting tendencies, personnel choices, and late-game tradeoffs without requiring a statistics background.
Flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country and an Olympic sport in 2028. The talent and competition are climbing fast, but most analytics advice still gets borrowed from tackle football. That creates a problem: flag has fewer possessions, different space, different roster constraints, different clock pressure, and rules that can flip the best decision.
The Flag Football Analytics Guide is the compact, coach-friendly version of the work behind this site. It is being written now as a practical reference you can use during the season. The planned price for the first edition is $19.99, but checkout is not open yet because the full guide text is still in progress.
The first edition will focus on the decisions coaches actually face: what to track, what to ignore, when to be aggressive, and how to turn opponent tendencies into a simple weekly plan.
The product is shifting from a video course to a concise written guide. The goal is a practical reference coaches can read, revisit, and use during the season.
Expect decision examples, charting suggestions, and scouting templates. The exact assets will be finalized with the first edition.
What this is not: a fundamentals manual. It will not teach route running, throwing mechanics, or how to pull a flag. It is the layer above that: the decisions, the data, and the system.
Dr. Stephen Hill is the founder of Flag Football Analytics and Illumined Analytics, and an associate professor of data analytics with a Ph.D. from the University of Alabama.

Those are no longer part of the current public offer. The guide is being designed as a practical written reference, with examples and templates where useful.
Start with the free strategy articles, Alabama rankings, and playoff simulation tools already available on this site. The guide will build on those same ideas in a more organized format.
