Girls flag football ranks among top 10 sports in the United States

The NFL and NFL Flag announced on Wednesday, Sept. 2, that girls flag football has reached the top 10 list of girls sports across the United States. This ranking follows the increasing sanctioning of the sport by high school athletic associations nationwide. The growth in participation coincides with the scheduled debut of flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics. The NFL Flag organization confirmed the status update through a social media post earlier this week. The league continues to see high school athletic programs adopt the sport into their official rankings and regular season structures.
