Some friends and I have put together a recreational flag football team here in Austin. Most of us have never played flag football before. A few have been in intramurals in college, but don't remember much. Anyway, we had our first 'practice' yesterday and we realized that we have no clue on how to build a basic offense and defense. We have our first real game in about 3 weeks and I don't want to get blown away by a team that knows what they are doing. Do any of you know of a good resource (online or books) on how to successfully run a flag football team starting with the fundamentals? While we were practicing yesterday, we got to scrimmage a little against another team, so that helped, but we realized that we were clueless especially on defense. I'd like to run some type of zone, but I don't know where to start. It's 8 on 8, but not coed. Also, anyone that has ever had a successful team in the past can use this thread to relive their glory and brag about how great they were.

You can know what we're doing, but you still have to stop us. You can only hope to contain us. Of course that doesn't really make sense since we are talking about the defense. We're going to get killed though.
