It was a great opportunity to document the Flag Football Alpine Tournament in Christchurch.
The Flag Football team in Christchurch is the part of the American Football Canterbury, called Extrastaff Canterbury Panthers Flag Football. This type of sport is much more softer, than the rugby. All players wear belts with coloured flags attached at their hips. Instead of tackling, defenders pull one of the attacking player’s flags to stop them. Because of the non-contact element, it’s safe and enjoyable for everyone.
