Flag Football Makes Way to CIF-SS

The CIF Southern Section is excited about the growth of girls’ flag football! Participation has increased from 120 teams in 2023 to 270 in 2024, offering championships in five divisions. The sport is gaining a huge amount of community and corporate support.  Schools are looking to fill additional coaching positions so they can offer more levels. The athletes are joining teams as a second or third high school sport on their resume with involvement coming from sports such as soccer, track and field and softball.  The students are enthusiastic about the new competitive sport. Coaches are effective in teaching the game by breaking down the basics and really building the love for the sport.
