High School Girls Flag Football League (Grades 9-12)

THE FUTURE OF FOOTBALL IS FEMALE

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new Girls Flag Football League at the YMCA. With the aim of promoting empowerment, inclusivity, and a love for sports, this league offers a fantastic opportunity for girls to engage in an active and supportive community.

This league fills the void left by the WIAA’s decision not to sanction girls flag football.

League Highlights:

• Open to girls in grades 9-12.
• Season runs January-February, aligning with other girls flag programs in high schools
• Teams established at each high school
• Weekly practices and games, culminating in a postseason tournament
• Dedicated coaches focused on skill development, teamwork, and leadership

We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to participate in sports and experience the numerous benefits it offers. Our Girls-Only Flag Football League at the YMCA aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment where your daughter can thrive and enjoy the wonderful world of flag football.

Here are some of the key benefits your daughter can experience by joining our league:

• Fun and Active Lifestyle: Flag football is an exciting and dynamic sport that keeps participants engaged and physically active. It promotes teamwork, coordination, and overall fitness while fostering a love for the game.
• Building Confidence: Our league is a nurturing space where girls can build their self-esteem and confidence. Through participation, they will learn valuable skills such as leadership, resilience, and effective communication—attributes that extend far beyond the field.
• Inclusive Community: Our league fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among participants. Your daughter will have the opportunity to make new friends, develop social skills, and form lifelong bonds with like-minded individuals who share her passion for flag football.
• Skill Development: Our experienced coaches are dedicated to helping each player grow and reach their full potential. Your daughter will receive quality instruction, learning fundamental techniques, strategic plays, and the rules of the game. As she progresses, she will acquire advanced skills that will benefit her both on and off the field.
• Fair Play and Sportsmanship: At the YMCA, we emphasize the values of fair play, sportsmanship, and respect for others. Our league promotes these principles, teaching girls the importance of teamwork, cooperation, and treating opponents with dignity and respect.
• Healthy Competition: Our league provides a platform for friendly competition, allowing girls to challenge themselves and measure their progress against other teams. The experience of playing in organized games and tournaments will help them develop a competitive spirit while embracing the value of good sportsmanship.
