Girls Flag Football - Sweeping the Nation

Girls Flag Football is sweeping the Nation and becoming incredibly popular in Youth Programs, High School, and College. 

NFL FLAG is dedicated to creating more opportunities for female athletes to participate in flag football.  We know that the game will only get stronger with the more girls who play. In addition to implementing girls-only leagues and tournaments, NFL FLAG also teamed up with National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and RCX Sports to make flag a sanctioned college sport for the first in history.
