Nike and NFL Grant $5 Million Towards Women's Flag Football

Nike Flag Football News 5 Million Toward Womens Flag Football

Access to football has been limited to boys for quite some time. Nevertheless, important female figures have emerged to impact the sport at its highest levels. There are female coaches in the NFL and NCAA, female strength and conditioning experts, female executives in the front office, and the first female to play in a college football Power 5 Conference game this past year. In an effort to grow the sport of football to more female athletes, Nike and the NFL have pledged $5 million to support women’s flag football becoming a varsity sport at the high school level.

About one million more boys get to play high school sports than girls because of football. This grant from Nike and the NFL hopes to provide more opportunity to athletes who didn’t have an option to play football before.
