MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation will provide grants for girls' flag football programs to high schools in Alabama, the Atlanta Falcons announced Wednesday. After the Falcons launched a pilot program two years ago with Reigning Champs (RCX), the Alabama High School Athletic Association voted this July to sanction girls' flag football. Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, girls' flag football will be an official high school sport in Alabama. 'We are grateful to the NFL and especially the Atlanta Falcons for their support to help bring girls' flag football to the AHSAA and our high schools,' said Jeff Segars, AHSAA assistant director and director of football.
