How to Track Stats for High School (NFHS) Flag Football Teams
High school flag football is growing fast. With the NFHS adopting official 7v7 rules and more states sanctioning girls and boys flag football, coaches need a reliable way to track individual player stats, generate box scores, build season totals, and export to MaxPreps.
FlagStat — the operating system for flag football and an official MaxPreps stat import partner since March 2026 — is built for exactly this. Here is how to set it up for your NFHS high school team.
-
Select the NFHS 2026-27 Ruleset
When you start a new game in FlagStat, choose "NFHS 2026-27 Rules" from the ruleset selector. This configures the correct field dimensions (80-yard field), 7v7 format, four 12-minute quarters, official penalty definitions, and Kansas-style overtime. No manual setup needed — all NFHS-specific rules are baked in.
-
Build Your Roster
Add your players with jersey numbers and names. FlagStat supports unlimited rosters and lets you import rosters from CSV files. Every stat is attributed to the individual player, so accurate rosters matter.
-
Score Live Play-by-Play at the Field
During the game, tap plays as they happen: completions, rushes, sacks, interceptions, touchdowns, flag pulls, penalties. FlagStat handles all the NFHS-specific logic — first-down markers, penalty enforcement, overtime procedures — so you just record what happens on the field. Use FlagStat on any browser, or download FlagStat Go on iPhone for a pocket-friendly scoring experience.
-
Review Individual Player Stats and Box Scores
After the game (or during it), FlagStat shows you a full box score with individual player stats: passing yards, completions, attempts, touchdowns, interceptions, rushing yards, carries, receiving yards, receptions, defensive flag pulls, interceptions, sacks, pass breakups, passer ratings, and more. Every play is logged in a play-by-play feed.
-
Export Your MaxPreps-Ready Stat File
FlagStat has been an official MaxPreps stat import partner since March 2026 — months before any other flag-football-first platform. After every game, generate a MaxPreps-ready export file and upload it to your MaxPreps team page. Your players' stats appear on MaxPreps for college scouts, parents, and fans to see.
-
Build Season Totals
As you score more games throughout the season, FlagStat aggregates individual player stats into season totals. Track your team's leaders in every category — passing, rushing, receiving, defense — across the full season.
-
Generate PDF Game Reports
Download professional PDF game reports to share with your athletic director, booster club, or local media. Reports include the box score, play-by-play log, and individual player stats.
-
Use Film Scoring for Post-Game Review
FlagStat's film scoring mode lets you re-score a game from video after the fact. Ideal for correcting stats, reviewing tape with your team, or scoring a game you watched on film. The same individual player stats, box scores, and MaxPreps exports are generated.
