there was time when football was only for boys, until we decided to change the game for her.
Collaborating to inspire the next generation of female athletes, Nike announced a new grant initiative with the NFL that commits a total of $5 million in product to growing flag football within high school athletics. This multi-year initiative provides a one-time donation of up to $100,000 in product to state athletic associations that offer girls flag football as a high school sport or demonstrate progress by way of a pilot program beginning in 2021.
“The expansion of girls flag football is essential to the growth of the game and preservation of the values it has contributed to society for decades. Girls flag demonstrates that football is for all, and the greater the participation, the stronger the game, and the more young women can build the transferrable skills football provides for achieving success in life.”
