Bengal's Girls Flag Football sees massive growth in the second season

After a successful pilot season, Girls High School's flag football rose from six to 20 participating schools for the coming spring.

The reigning Champion Mount Notre Dame returns to Paycor to defend his title after winning the opening championship last May, as well as Mercy Mcauley.

On Saturday, March 8th, over 500 athletes and coaches in the kickoff Jamboree are expected in the Paycor Stadium. Together with the increase in numbers, Bengal's Girls Flag Football will also have secret sponsorship this season.

P&G has committed to the support of several initiatives to the community in Bengals, including Bengal's Girls Flag Football, who help to access football for more women, especially the student of the students, through the rapidly growing and fun sport of flag football to increase. Secret was started in 1956 as the first deodorant of the female desodoran. So it is fitting that you are the first brand that sponsors the flag football of the Girls High School in Cincinnati.

“I feel blessed so that I have the opportunity last spring to be part of the Mnd Flag soccer team. It was such an exciting experience to be involved in something completely new, and I can hardly wait to see how much Flag football continues to grow the Cincinnati region, “said the elderly of Mount Notre Dame, Maria Shade.

In collaboration with the USA football, the Jamboree begins at 11:30 a.m. and runs a skills clinic with the event until 3:30 p.m., which is carried out by the USA football employees, team -scimmages and special activities to celebrate international women's day on 8.

Each school receives a scholarship, Nike uniform sets, a US flag football equipment kit, invitations to girls flag events before the spring season and the chance to play at the spring tournament.

“It is not worthwhile to give hundreds of girls access to football,” said Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn during the Jamboree last season. “I know and see how much football can give back to those who play it. It is the ultimate team sport. The Bengals are so proud and grateful to be able to serve as a platform in order to bring more girls into the football game.”

The national growth of the girl's flag football had a priority for the NFL. The league released a special place during the Super Bowl Lix for advertising for “NFL Flag 50” with the Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, Browns de Myles Garrett, NFL legend Pat McAfee and Marshawn Lynch and various female flags. The two -minute spot was broadcast immediately after Apple Music's half -time show.

“The flag football of girls is growing and we use our greatest moment of the year to celebrate the growth of the flag, but to make positive changes when it comes to creating accessible participation for girls in football,” said NFL – Chief Marketing Officer Tim Ellis in a press release.
