6 v 6 2-3-1 Defense As with the 1-3-1 for 5 v 5, this is a fairly good, multi-purpose zone defense, effective against both the run or the pass. The two defenders up close to the line will guard both the edges and the center of the field, from the line of scrimmage out to about 10 yards back.

When you play in a 6v6 flag football league like this your brain needs to immediately go to 7v7 flag football with a rusher. The numbers will be the same in regards to coverage. Your opponent will likely play either man coverage, a 3-3 defense or a 4-2 defense.
