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.

NFL Junior Player Development
The NFL JPD program, developed in 1998, as an instructional football camp for children age 12-14 in underserved communities. The program provides step-by-step instruction for every position on both offense and defense in a fun and engaging atmosphere. It also serves as a feeder system for high school football programs that may not have organized football in nearby junior high schools.
JPD integrates on-field skills development with life skills and character development. As youngsters plan for future high school interscholastic activities, participants receive instruction from NFL-selected high school coaches, as well as counseling that focuses around a variety of life skills, such as responsibility, goal-setting, sportsmanship, self-control, smart moves, and teamwork.
Each life skill addressed through the context of football allows coaches to make the connection between life skills as they are applied on the field, in school, at home and in the community.In addition, through a youth coach's development program that provides hours of practical training, coaches learn how to properly teach all position fundamentals as well as how to creatively and effectively apply life skill messages.
