Flag Football for All | NFL Football Operations
NFL FLAG
NFL FLAG is the official flag football league of the NFL and the largest flag football organization in the U.S. It currently has more than a half-million youth athletes competing in all 50 states, with a particular focus on expanding women’s flag football.
The program wants to increase the number of kids participating, with an emphasis on increasing the number of programs in under-resourced communities. Through partnerships, NFL FLAG has brought flag football to thousands of schools, communities and families around the country.
One partnership, GENYOUth’s NFL FLAG-In-Schools program, has distributed more than 37,000 flag football kits to physical education programs across the country since 2014, reaching an estimated 2.3 million students.
“NFL FLAG-In-School opens the door of accessibility to all students regardless of gender, age, class, physical ability, and ethnicity to benefit from the many transferable values that the game of football offers,” said Vincent, Sr. “The NFL, GENYOUth, and NFL FLAG partnership aims to effectively resource under-resourced schools in meeting physical activity needs with America’s most popular and fastest-emerging team sport. Football for all!”
Recently, the NFL FLAG-In-School program expanded to international students — providing kits for students in Canada, China, Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
