Our 2026 annual focus will be dedicated to Leveling the Field: Empowering the Next Generation of Female Flag Football Athletes.
This initiative is crucial because, while flag football is rapidly growing and is now officially an Olympic sport, equitable access and dedicated resources for young women are still lagging behind. By prioritizing girls’ flag football, we will specifically address the need for female-specific coaching, leadership development, and visibility, directly challenging gender stereotypes in sports, while also focusing on the critical goal of having flag football sanctioned as a high school sport for girls in every state before the 2028 Olympics. Through specialized clinics, advocacy efforts, mentorship, and equipment grants, we aim to eliminate participation and policy barriers, ensuring every girl in the US has the opportunity to not just play flag football, but be a leader in the sport and in life.
