How local high schools are growing flag football in an inclusive way

Girls flag football is seeing amazing growth. According to National Federation of State High School Associations surveys, the number of girls playing flag football rose 86% from 2018-19 to 2022-23, from 11,209 players to 20,875. “I’m confident — obviously not 100% yet, but confident — it will be an IHSA (Illinois High School Association) sport next year,” said Rachel Karos, Willowbrook’s co-head coach.
