flag football

Kansas was one of the first Midwestern states to sanction girls’ flag football as a varsity high school sport. Now, girls across the state have their first chance to compete under the lights.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association voted to sanction girls flag football as an official sport, giving teams more opportunities for competitions, funding — and recognition.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association has not sanctioned girls' flag football as a full varsity sport, but this year's pilot program could set a path for that to happen.
