GIRLS + WOMEN IN FLAG
The future is hers.
Girls and women are not simply entering the game. They are expanding it, leading it and creating what comes next.
FLAGCITY™ exists to help grow the sport, change the culture, invite more people in and make every pathway across flag football easier to see and pursue.
Our mission
More than a place to play.
Participation matters. But access cannot end at the sideline.
We want girls to see a future in the game and women to have the access, relationships and resources to shape it. That means creating opportunities to play, coach, officiate, lead, tell stories, make decisions, build organizations and own businesses throughout the flag football ecosystem.
GROW THE SPORT
Create more ways for girls and women to discover the game, enter it, stay in it and advance through it.
CHANGE THE CULTURE
Build a sport where women are visible, respected, heard and trusted with influence at every level.
INVITE MORE IN
Reach girls, families and communities that have not always seen a clear place for themselves in football.
CREATE PATHWAYS
Turn participation into lasting opportunities for mentorship, leadership, careers, entrepreneurship and ownership.

From access to ownership
We are not only growing participation. We are growing leadership.
The future of the sport will be shaped by who receives opportunities, who is connected to decision-makers, whose ideas are supported and who has the access to lead, build and own.
Our work is centered on four connected pathways:
MENTORSHIP
Connecting girls and women with people who can share knowledge, open doors and help them navigate what comes next.
LEADERSHIP
Preparing and elevating women to coach, manage, direct, govern and make decisions throughout the sport.
CAREERS
Making the full flag football economy visible, from media and marketing to operations, technology, health, performance and event production.
OWNERSHIP
Helping more women become founders, operators, investors, executives and owners of the organizations shaping the game.
