Flag football grew in popularity—big time
More than 650,000 total NFL FLAG athletes participated in NFL FLAG last year, a 12% growth in registrations year over year. Even more, flag football became a sanctioned girls high school varsity sport in 8 states. And we’re even seeing a path to college for female players.
Also, Pro Bowl saw a new format featuring flag football and—one of our favorite moments—flag football was officially voted to become a new sport in the 2028 Olympics.
Like we said, it was quite a year for flag football.
