PHOTOS: Flag Football at Five Towns

Kids in grades kindergarten to high school seniors come out to in Dix Hills each Sunday to play flag football.

The main difference in flag football from its mainstream counterpart is that there is no tackling, which makes it a welcoming sport for children of all ages.

"This is my favorite sport. It reminds me of when I was a kid playing football with my friends. We would draw up plans in the dirt and everyone would have a great time," said Steve Noskin, head of the Fury Flag Football League. "This is what is about; kids running around with there friends or new teammates having fun." 

Only in its fourth season, the league has more than 600 players and 54 teams. This year Marianne Zummo Noskin spearheaded a healthy concession stand with organic coffee and gluten free banana bread.

"We are about staying healthy and we should be offering healthy alternatives," she said. 

Games take place every Sunday from 9-5 rain or shine.
