The Alabama News Center — Atlanta Falcons, Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation further support girls flag football in Alabama

By: Alabama News Center Staff

This spring, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, provided grants to 10 Alabama high schools to establish a girls flag football program for the upcoming season.

Given the enthusiasm and support for the game of girls flag football in Georgia, the Falcons used a similar model to bring the game to Alabama in 2021. Alabama launched a pilot program for high schools that year and, three years later, it became the eighth state to sanction girls flag football as an official high school sport. This fall, more than 130 Alabama high schools will offer girls flag football as a varsity sport for their student athletes.

The following Alabama schools received grants to establish girls flag football programs in 2025:
Alabama Christian Academy, Athens High School, Chickasaw High School, Elmore County High School, I3 Academy High School, Linden High School, Saraland High School, St. John Paul II High School, and Talladega High School.
