Overview
Flag Football IQ 5v5: International Level 1 is the first deck in the Flag Football IQ system — built for the fast-growing 5v5 game played in youth leagues, adult leagues, and international competition around the world.
5v5 flag is its own game. There are no linemen, every player is a threat, and the mental side decides who wins. Level 1 gives players and coaches the shared vocabulary of the 5v5 game — the rules, formations, route mechanics, reads, coverages, and concepts that turn a group of athletes into a team that plays fast.
From the team behind American Football IQ, developed by highly qualified coaches including a Division I quarterback and college coach. Learn the game. Play Fast.

What You'll Master
By the end of Level 1, you'll speak the 5v5 game — calling formations, running the right route mechanics, working a progression, and recognizing what the defense is actually playing
You'll learn how to:
-
Know the rules cold — field, timing, the release clock, and who can have their flag pulled
-
Line up and call five core formations: Empty, One Back, Wide, Tight, and Bunch
-
Run real route mechanics — speed, square, leverage, and whip breaks, plus Return, Pump, and Deal tags
-
Work pure progressions and progressions-with-an-option instead of staring down one receiver
-
Identify man, zone, and match coverage — Cover 0 through Cover 3 — and attack the space it gives you
Every player is a threat. Every read matters.
