The Rise of Flag Football – A Game-Changer for Youth Sports!


Flag football is one of the fastest-growing youth sports in the country, and for good reason! It promotes teamwork, agility, and sportsmanship in a safe, no-contact environment. The sport has gained significant momentum, especially for young girls, as opportunities continue to expand in schools, colleges, and even the Olympics!


·       LAUSD has made girls' flag football a mandatory sport, ensuring that more young athletes have the opportunity to play.


·       Over 25 colleges are now offering flag football scholarships for girls, opening doors for young female athletes to continue their passion at the collegiate level.


·       Flag football will be an Olympic sport in the 2028 Los Angeles Games, meaning kids playing today could be future gold medalists!


With the sport growing at all levels, there has never been a better time for young athletes—boys and girls—to get involved and be part of the movement!


Encouraging Kids to Stay Active


In today’s digital world, kids are spending more time on tablets and video games than ever before. Screen addiction is a real problem that isn’t talked about enough, and we believe that youth sports like flag football are a fantastic way to keep kids active, engaged, and social.


Playing flag football not only improves physical fitness but also helps develop confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills—all while having a blast on the field! Let’s encourage our kids to put down the screens, lace up their cleats, and experience the thrill of the game!

We can’t wait to see you all at Team Formation on July 2nd and on the field for our Summer 2025 season kickoff on July 12th - Sept 13th. Let’s make this season the best one yet! 💪🏈
