2028 Olympic Debut

Flag football has been officially selected as a sport for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Students participating today are engaging with a discipline that will soon have Olympic athletes, Olympic coverage, and global prestige.

Accessible for All

Unlike many team sports, flag football is lower cost and requires no pads, helmets or specialized equipment. Any student can participate regardless of size, strength, or athletic background.

Minimal Injury Risk

Flag football eliminates contact, dramatically reducing injury risk compared to tackle football.

Highly Engaging and Fun

Routes, plays, teamwork, and strategy means students are thinking and moving simultaneously, building cognitive and physical skills together.
