Flagger Instruction Videos

Video Instruction

The language we use is important when flagging together because if everyone uses the same names for each move we can better coordinate.  However, not every instructor uses the same terminology.  It also differs by country.

In the sections below we offer clips from different instructors. The links are identified as novice, intermediate, and advanced.

The videos are hosted on YouTube and for each video you can expand it to full page by clicking on the icon in the lower right.
