The CFL Flag Football in Schools program is a free, curriculum-connected physical education program developed by PHE Canada in partnership with the Canadian Football League. With flag football set to make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, now is the ideal time to introduce the sport in your school.

Flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in Canada — accessible, engaging, and exciting for every student regardless of experience. Through developmentally appropriate activities and small-sided games, students develop football-related movement skills, tactical understanding, decision-making, and cooperation.

All resources are free, bilingual, and designed to fit within a standard physical education period. No prior flag football experience required.

Keep an eye out for K–3 and 7–9 units coming later in 2027.
