Flag football highlight reel maker

ReelBallers turns flag football footage into a highlight reel: tag touchdown passes, catches, flag pulls, and pass breakups, then export a shareable cut spotlighting your player.

How to make a flag football highlight reel

  1. 1

    Upload your flag football game

    Upload the footage you already filmed -- phone, action camera, or an export from a team camera system. Full matches are fine; there is no need to trim first.

  2. 2

    Mark the plays worth keeping

    Watch the game and tag each moment by position and play type. Flag Football presets cover 5 positions and 15 play types, so tagging is a click rather than typing.

  3. 3

    Export and share the reel

    ReelBallers crops and follows your player through every clip, upscales toward 4K, and stitches the reel together. Share it with one link, or export a vertical cut for social.

Flag Football plays you can tag

Every clip is tagged by position and play type, so you can later pull "every goal" or "every defensive stop" without scrubbing footage. These are the flag football presets built in today.

Quarterback

  • Touchdown Pass

    Completed pass that results in a score.

  • Scramble

    Evading rushers to extend the play or gain yards.

  • Play Action

    Fake handoff that freezes the defense before a pass.

Receiver

  • Touchdown Catch

    Receiving a pass in the end zone for a score.

  • Route Running

    Crisp cuts and separation from defenders on passing routes.

  • YAC

    Yards after catch; gaining extra ground after the reception.

Center

  • Snap

    Clean snaps that start the play on time.

  • Block

    Positioning to shield the quarterback from rushers.

  • Route

    Center releasing into a passing route after the snap.

Rusher

  • Sack

    Pulling the quarterback's flag behind the line of scrimmage.

  • Pressure

    Forcing the quarterback into a hurried throw or scramble.

  • Flag Pull

    Pulling the ball carrier's flag to end the play.

Defensive Back

  • Interception

    Catching a pass intended for the offense.

  • Pass Breakup

    Deflecting or disrupting a pass without intercepting.

  • Coverage

    Staying with a receiver to deny the pass.

Why flag football footage is hard to edit

Flag football is almost always filmed on a phone from the sideline by a parent, at a field with no elevated angle. That footage is wide and shaky by default, which is why stabilised auto-framing and upscaling matter more here than in any other sport.

What flag football coaches look for

With flag football now an Olympic sport and growing fast in schools, reels are increasingly used for team and select-squad selection. Coaches look for separation on routes and clean flag-pull technique.

What people say

My mom is always asking me to β€œsend the video” when she can't attend my daughter's games. Now I can send her a high res 3 minute highlight reel with a spotlight so she can actually see what's going on.
Parent of a youth athlete
I loved that I could start wide and bring the camera in tighter at the end. Really tracked well. I'm telling you, this software is great.

Flag Football highlight reels: common questions

How do I make a flag football highlight video?

Upload your flag football game footage to ReelBallers, mark the plays worth keeping as you watch, and export. It crops and follows your player through each clip automatically, then produces one shareable link. You do not need editing experience or a separate video editor.

What flag football plays can I tag?

Flag Football has 15 built-in play types across 5 positions: Touchdown Pass, Scramble, Play Action, Touchdown Catch, Route Running, YAC, Snap, Block, Route, Sack, Pressure, Flag Pull, Interception, Pass Breakup, Coverage. You can also rate clips and add notes.

What camera do I need to film flag football?

Whatever you already own. ReelBallers works with any standard video file -- iPhone and Android video, GoPro and other action cameras, XbotGo mounts, camcorders, or match video exported from Veo, Trace, or Hudl. There is no hardware to buy.

Can I make a flag football recruiting video with this?

Yes. Build the reel from your tagged clips, and export a wide cut for college coaches plus a vertical version for social from the same set of clips. Most college coaches want three to five minutes, with your strongest plays first.

How do I keep my player in frame in wide flag football footage?

That is what the auto-follow framing does. You pick the player, and the crop tracks them through the clip, so a wide sideline shot becomes a tight, watchable frame. You can also start wide and tighten through a clip.

How much does it cost?

Free to start. You can upload a game and build a flag football reel without paying up front.

What does the person I send the reel to need?

Just a web browser -- no app install and no account. Coaches, recruiters, and family open a link and watch at full resolution.
