INDIANA—The Indianapolis Colts are embarking on an ambitious journey to reach 100 high school girls’ flag football teams across Indiana. Demonstrating a significant commitment to the sport’s growth, the Colts and the Irsay Family have pledged a substantial $1 million over the next three years to support its expansion.
This initiative is pivotal for girls flag football, which is experiencing rapid national and international growth. The sport’s increasing popularity will culminate in its recognition as an official sport at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
To incentivize schools to join this burgeoning movement, the Colts are offering a comprehensive support package to the first 100 schools that commit to establishing a girls flag football team. This package, valued at a total of $10,000 per school, includes:
- $5,000 in financial support during the first year.
- $1,500 in financial support during the second year.
- Uniforms for the team.
- A USA Football Equipment Kit contains essential items such as flags, cones, footballs, agility ladders, and pinnies.
- One USA Football Coaching Membership.
- Access to Coach & Player Education/Development resources.
- Participation in Recognition Programs.
The Colts are encouraging schools to commit sooner rather than later, as this will allow them to begin receiving support earlier and provide a head start on scheduling for the upcoming season. It is important to note that this level of support is not guaranteed once 100 schools have committed to the program.
