ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Girls flag football is preparing to launch its second season of a two-year Colorado High School Athletics Association pilot program.
Year one was a rousing success, thanks in large part to funding and coordination from the Denver Broncos that culminated in a state championship tournament at the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse.Why girl's flag football is Colorado's “It’s opening up in colleges too,” said Meghan Rietveld, Eaglecrest High School head flag football coach. “We’ve already gotten contacts from schools that are starting programs and offering scholarships.
Rietveld said she believes interest in flag football is already high enough in Colorado to support a fully sanctioned high school sport within CHSAA’s structure, signaling a flag of change may already be waving among America’s young people away from traditional football. “[Georgia’s] league is so intense and so organized,” Rietveld said. “They have their entire games broadcasted. It was cool — we could watch that and learn from them too.”
