NFL Developing Flag Football Tech Platform

The NFL is continuing to pour resources into flag football, with the latest focusing on a tech platform. The aim is to raise the training and development within flag football for athletes, coaches, and officials.

South Carolina Grows Closer to Sanctioning Flag Football

A recent report shed light on the growth of flag football in South Carolina. Approximately 70 schools are playing flag football this fall, with more than 100 expected to compete in the 2027 fall season. The Carolina Panthers have been helping support flag football in the state and were instrumental in getting the sport sanctioned in neighboring North Carolina.

Flag football is already a pilot program, and South Carolina High School League (SCHSL) rules require only 16 teams to have a sanctioned championship. Once the SCHSL activities committee recommends the sport for sanction, a vote by the executive committee could be held as soon as January 2027. Girls flag football could be sanctioned as soon as the 2027-28 school year, but it could be pushed back to the 2028-29 school year if there are any delays. Even though flag football isn't sanctioned, that hasn't prevented colleges and universities across the state from adding the sport.

Texas Passes on Sanctioning Flag Football, Will Add Pilot Program

The University Interscholastic League (UIL), the Texas governing body for public high school sports, did not sanction girls flag football at its latest meeting. Instead, the UIL will add a pilot program, which will begin no later than the 2028-29 school year. The pilot program will allow up to two classifications. It's not clear how many schools will participate and when flag football will be played.

The UIL has been tepid in its push to sanction flag football, declining to do so on three previous occasions. 25 states, including Washington, D.C., have already sanctioned girls flag football at the varsity level. The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans have been actively growing flag football throughout the state in the past few years.
