Different from the traditional rugby rules, waist flag rugby is not allowed to hug and push people. The defender needs to pull out the waist flag of the attacker who holds the ball, while the attacker needs to take the ball to the touchdown for a limited number of times. A coach told reporters that compared with the intense physical contact of traditional football, waist flag football is more gentle and more interesting.
The person in charge of the club said that the sport quickly became popular among young people aged 20 -40 this year because of its relatively simple entry.
Easy entry and high interactivity may be the reasons for the popularity of this sport. The reporter observed that in addition to the coaches and team members, the scene was also equipped with special photographers, who were responsible for capturing everyone’s sports moments and sharing them for the first time. On a social platform, searching for flag football shows that there are more than 10,000 shared notes.
Wang Zhuma, head of trend sports in a social platform sports group:In March this year, the data ushered in an explosive growth, and by May this year, the release volume increased by 2.7 times compared with that in March, and the search volume about flag football reached a very exaggerated growth of several hundred times.

In just a few months, flag football has attracted the attention of many young people. What is the cost of participating in this sport and what are the requirements for the venue?
The person in charge of the operation of a stadium in Baoan District of Shenzhen told the reporter that every weekend is the most full time here. This year, in addition to daily training, their football field has many more players playing flag football and Frisbee, and the venue reservation will be robbed as soon as it goes online.
Wang Chao, general manager of a sports culture development company in Shenzhen:On the platform, a new day’s venue is launched three days in advance. Basically, the new day’s venue is released. Within 5 minutes at 0: 00 in the morning, the venue will be robbed by everyone. From Monday to Sunday, prime-time performances are basically fully booked.
Wang Chao’s prime time refers to two performances at 6:30-8:30 and 8:30-10:30 in the evening. At present, even the night show, which doesn’t end until 10: 30 in the evening, is still hard to get a ticket.
From the perspective of organization and operation, participating in flag football includes venue fees and coach fees, most of which are within 100 yuan per person.
In addition to attracting office workers, the flag football is also entering the campus. In April this year, the Beijing Primary and Secondary School Sports Association issued the Notice of the 2022 Beijing Primary and Secondary School Flag Football Competition to promote the comprehensive promotion and development of this sport. According to industry insiders, there will be more and more professional teams and professional events around the flag football in the future.
