The Women's Gridiron Foundation offers mentorship and multi-level support to both existing and start-up girls football organizations.
We run football skills clinics, provide a multitude of resources, offer speaking engagements, and connect people who aim to both increase the opportunities for girls and women to learn and play football as well as close the gender gap in the sport.
We educate and empower young women around the world to a place of greater self-worth and confidence while simultaneously increasing awareness of, and participation in, the women's game on a global scale.
We believe that sport - specifically football - is an ideal vehicle through which essential, meaningful life skills can be learned.
When a safe, supportive space is created in which females of all ages can learn this incredible game, they will not only show up, but be empowHERed for having done so!!
"The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics made a recommendation that Divisions I, II and III sponsor legislation to add flag football to the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program."
This is an announcement for which so many have been waiting from the NCAA.
Bravo to all who have advocated to help girls flag take this next, HUGE step. It has take the tireless efforts of an entire village of people of all ages. Bravo!!
We are getting closer and closer to creating a seamless pathway for girls to play the sport at all levels.
