Tuttle Football - What is Padded Flag?
Padded flag football serves as the bridge between flag football and tackle football. It offers the full thrill of football - fully padded, full contact - but without tackling. This safer alternative not only introduces our students to the fundamentals of contact but also emphasizes skill development in a controlled and supportive environment.
Tuttle Football will proudly stand as the only Vermont Principals’ Association-endorsed middle school padded flag football program in the area, ensuring all students, regardless of their physical, mental, or emotional maturity level, can participate and thrive.
