NFL Girls Flag Football Leadership Program

The NFL Girls Flag Football Leadership Program identifies the growing demand for girls’ flag football to be legitimized and played as a high school sport, and is the first program of its kind to recognize the desire of girls to be more involved in the sport of flag football. Girls’ flag football is already a state sanctioned sport in Florida and Alaska and both programs boast staggering participation numbers. Girls love to play football, and the NFL Girls Flag Football Leadership Program will strive to give girls a place to play the sport they love. It’s Time for Our First Down!
The NFL has identified the 10 most concentrated cities of recreational girls’ flag football participation and it has selected one girl in each city to pursue the establishment of girls’ flag football as a legitimate high school sport. Our ten girls are extremely passionate about flag football, have been involved with our NFL FLAG football program, and will champion this initiative with the assistance of local high schools. Empowered by the NFL, these pioneers of female flag football will request that their high schools pilot a girls’ flag football program.
