Coach, Girls Flag Football Matters To You Too
If you are a football coach at any level you would have to have your head thoroughly buried in the sand to have not noticed the explosion of flag football across the globe. It’s not hard to see why this sport is seeing exponential popularity worldwide. Flag football is a game that can be played by anyone 5 to 50 and is one of the most inclusive sports to take off in awhile. If you ask FirstDown PlayBook, the growth of girls flag football is the crown jewel for this movement.
Here at FirstDown PlayBook we have enjoyed being a part of this growth. We have been working with flag football pioneers for seven or eight years now. We have watched girls flag football in high school grow as states like Florida were early to embrace it. It excites us as we see the inevitable spread of this inclusive and cost effective game. We have been a part of it at the college level too as Ottawa has won four national championships.
This past week the state of Pennsylvania became the latest state to sanction girls flag football as an official high school sport. Hats off to their leadership for this. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles also deserve some credit for getting behind this in several ways. The NFL has been a significant contributor to this growth with their increased support of NFL Flag football.
