Common running flag football play for younger teams. Many leagues require the center to be at least one yard behind the line of scrimmage when taking a handoff. This play satisfies this requirement.

The main focus of this play is hitting the underneath receiver just as he crosses the middle of the field or a little beyond. If the defender on that side chases the Blue receiver, it could open the left side for some good old fashioned YAC (yards after catch). If Red is covered, there are outlets to Blue and Green. The routes shown are suggested, but in reality, these two will need to move to find the open area.
