An Inclusive Program For All Students!
Just 1 in 4 kids get the recommended daily amount of physical activity. And according to new GEYOUth Insights research, key barriers for participation include lack of time, energy, and confidence. NFL FLAG-In-School widens the playing field to ensure all kids – boys and girls – have the opportunity to participate in and develop a love of sport. And it is helping to drive a movement that has made flag football one of the nation’s fastest-growing team sports, as well as a featured Olympic sport at the 2028 games in Los Angeles. READ MORE
