Girls High School Football Takes Flight!

Last year, the New York Jets and Nike announced the creation of a brand-new high school girls flag football league in New Jersey in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
Eight New Jersey high schools received an $11,000 grant and equipment from the Jets and Nike for joining the New Jersey High School Girls Flag Football League. Each school will also receive team jerseys from Nike’s Girls Flag Football line. The pilot league was a huge success last spring and more schools are following suit.
“Since our initial involvement in the launch of a girls flag football league in New York, our goal has always been to continue to provide young women in our community with the opportunity to play the sport we all know and love,” Jets President Hymie Elhai said in a statement. “We are excited to begin this new league in New Jersey, officially building on those efforts.”
The North Jersey Super Football Conference (NJSFC) and the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) also worked with the Jets and Nike to build the league.
“Although flag football isn’t a sanctioned sport in New Jersey for boys or girls, NJSIAA applauds the Jets for creating additional opportunities for female student-athletes,” COO of NJSIAA Colleen Maguire said. “NJSIAA believes kids are best served by being active and engaged, and we salute the team’s efforts.”
The Jets will also film and produce a video series with Nike that highlights the individual journeys of the players that culminate with the beginning of the league and the first annual Jets x Nike Girls Flag Invitational. The team hopes to include more New Jersey area high schools in the coming seasons.
Locally, surrounding towns in New Jersey have started grass roots youth program within the last year. Our time is now!!
GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL
Girls Flag Football has taken off nationally and is just starting to gain momentum in New Jersey. By the time these young talented athletes reach high school, Flag Football WILL be a sport at the high school level. The list of high schools that offer this as a High School sport continues to grow.
Why Play?
Football is another opportunity for girls to get active, compete, and blaze a trail as the first generation of women to play football scholastically.
