UHSGFA in the News

Girls flag football is rapidly growing in Utah, becoming a major hub for the sport. The Raiders have supported local development, increasing visibility for young athletes. With Olympic momentum and 17 states already sanctioning the sport, Utah’s UHSGFA is pushing for official school sanctions and expanding leagues. The movement is unlocking new opportunities for female athletes across the state.

KUTV highlighted the launch of Utah’s first girls high school flag football league. Co-founder Ryan NeVille emphasized the sport’s inclusivity and growing opportunities, from local leagues to the Olympics. With registration closing September 8 and games starting September 15, the league is a major step toward sanctioning girls flag football in Utah.

Fox13 highlights flag football: Utah’s girls high school flag football scene is growing quickly, supported by a $100,000 equipment donation and partnership from the Las Vegas Raiders. The effort is helping expand teams statewide while building momentum toward varsity recognition and broader opportunities for female athletes. Coaches and players say the sport is creating a positive, competitive pathway for girls who want to play football at higher levels.
