Editorial Policy
Youth sports information should be accurate, accountable, and written by people who actually do the work. Here is how we produce and review everything we publish.
How our content is produced
Our operator guides, rulebooks, and resources start with firsthand youth league operating experience and authoritative sources. Automation may assist with separate industry data pulses. These posts may publish automatically only after authenticated source evidence, content validation, CI, and CodeRabbit review pass. They are attributed to the Flag Football Advice Research Desk and distinguish measured data from interpretation.
Who reviews it
Manual operator guides identify Gavin Fontenot when he is the author and reviewer. Automated industry data pulses identify the Flag Football Advice Research Desk instead. Every article carries a truthful visible byline, publication date, update date, source links, and the applicable production method.
Sourcing & claims
When a guide references rules, safety recommendations, or statistics, we cite the authoritative organizations behind them and link to them directly. We never invent statistics, testimonials, or citations. Where a specific figure has not yet been tied to a verified public source, we hold it back or clearly frame it rather than dress it up as settled fact.
Updates & corrections
Flag football rules and best practices evolve, and so do our guides. When we update a page, we refresh its "last updated" date. If you spot an error or something out of date, email us and we will review it promptly — verified corrections are made to the page and the update date is advanced.
Editorial accountability
Manual operator guides are reviewed by Gavin Fontenot, Founder of Flag Football Advice and co-owner of Louisiana Flag Football. Automated industry data pulses are attributed to the Flag Football Advice Research Desk and include their source method and limitations on the page.
