Florida and Alaska are the only two states in the U.S. who offer flag football for girls in High Schools.

Slowly but surely

Flag Football is more exciting than tackle

There is more finesse, strategy, different skills than tackle which is perfect for the female athlete.

This is a great promotion for girls flag football.

Nice Job

I just moved to Florida a few weeks ago and I'm going to try out for my high school's flag football team. :) I'm glad Florida has it because my old high school didn't.
