Flag Football

What shape do you make with your hand when catching the football?

• diamond

• circle

• triangle

• none

Answer explanation

The DIAMOND is key to catching that odd-shaped football. The pointed end of the football should fit inside that diamond window, while the other fingers grip the wide part of the ball. This shape stops the forward motion of the football and puts a player’s hands in the right place to catch, control and then tuck the ball!
