Scenes from Frederick County Public Schools’ first flag football clinic at Frederick High School on Wednesday afternoon. More than 200 student-athletes from all ten FCPS High Schools turned out for the first Ravens Girls Flag Football Clinic!
•
Back in February we let you know that the Baltimore Ravens & Under Armour had announced a partnership with FCPS to provide grant funding and uniforms for the development of high school girls’ flag football programs in the fall of 2023.
•
“The Ravens have committed three years of grant funding to 10 Frederick County high schools, rewarding the county’s support of the initiative and for leading the way with its 2023 inaugural fall program. This girls’ flag football initiative aims to pave the way for female student-athletes in every Maryland county to eventually receive the same flag football opportunities well into the future.
•
Through this partnership, Frederick County Public Schools will pilot flag football as an interscholastic girls’ sport, marking the 29th sport offered by FCPS. As a school system committed to enhancing female athletic participation, FCPS is eager to pilot this emerging and fast-developing sport in each of its high schools.
•
Girls flag football has seen steady growth throughout the country in recent years. Highlighted by a partnership between the NFL and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, flag football has become an emerging offering for girls.”
