About our group

3 FIELDS...6 TEAMS...AND 60 PLAYERS... THE LARGEST and LONGEST CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WEEKLY FLAG FOOTBALL GROUP IN THE COUNTRY!

We are a diverse group of flag football fanatics. We welcome adult players of all ages and experience levels. Our motto is safety first, then sportsmanship, fun, exercise, and competition. Come make new friends, have fun, and get exercise at the beach. Our concise rules incentive women and men to receive the ball equally.

And the best part about our group is that we play every Saturday 52 weeks per year and all of our games are 100% FREE.

Our games

We play a fun style of pick-up flag football with NO contact, taunting, or other aggressive behavior. "Pick-up" means that the players on each team change weekly. We play 7 on 7 and games run for about an hour. We play two games per event, but players may come and go as they desire.

We play on the beach because it's fun, and our members are 28 times less likely to suffer a major injury in the sand than if playing on grass or turf.

our location

We play on the beach in front of LIFEGUARD TOWER 29 ( near the boardwalk). Our address for GPS maps is 101 Ocean Front Walk, Venice CA 90291, but you'll need to find parking elsewhere. You cannot miss us if you walk up NAVY STREET towards the beach. We set up our fields right at the border of Venice and Santa Monica beach where the boardwalk vendors end.

member testimonials

Jona X.

"If you enjoy playing football, you must try this out! The organizers, Josh & Andrea supply cold water, snacks, all the playing equipment, uphold safety rules to protect the players, and even offer coaching tips to help you improve your game. I still find it ridiculous that they offer all of this for FREE, nothing like this anywhere else. It's amazing how many friendships have been forged here (and also long term and married couples that have come out of the group!). Come check it out, you'll have a blast. ”

TV series description

Series synopsis: The Venice beach boardwalk; a mecca of tourists, unique vendors, street performers, self described freaks, and the extremely fit. But just beyond the boardwalk – playing in the sand – is the largest flag football group in the world. The group has over 7,000 members and every Saturday a group of them join together to play in a competitive tournament. But this not just sport. It's a metaphor for much more; life seen through competition, the taking of territory, a war of sorts. There's a risk to body, ego, and heart when each player takes to the sand arena at the ocean's edge. But as they compete in their weekly ritual, this large group of athletes has become close to each other. They drink together, celebrate with each other, play together, and have even married each other. But when you spend that much time together you start treating each other like family. And that, well, that's not always a good thing...

season 2 coming in 2020

In addition to our own members, season 2 will include some well known former professional athletes. We cast for season 2 soon, so join us for a game soon if you'd like to appear in or help us produce the show. Until then, please click the button below to watch season 1.
