Central Florida high school flag football teams have been a big hit all season. Now, they are looking for more as the regional playoffs get underway this coming week.

We looked at schools in seven area counties (Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Volusia, Brevard and Indian River) and compiled the High School on SI Top 25 Central Florida flag football postseason rankings.

The rankings are based on regular season records, head-to-head matchups, district tournament finishes, and more. We will continue to rank the teams as they progress through the playoffs. High School on SI welcomes input, including action photos, for our weekly poll.
