Flag Football Hook & Ladder

Let’s take a look at this flag football hook & ladder today. Yes, we know some of you call it hook & lateral. We all know the play though. The quarterback delivers a perfect strike to the hook route runner. That player then laterals the ball to another receiver coming underneath.

It is such a good play. I remember working for an NFL head coach who said he thought it should be in our base passes every wee. If nothing else it would stop the defensive backs from jumping our hook and curl routes.

There are a lot of different versions of flag football out there and no segment is more diverse than the 7v7 flag football population. You have so many different cross sections of people playing it with so many different rules. This weekend there will be great girls and women flag football on display in Florida and Georgia.
