The new league kicked off this past weekend with a Demonstration Game that included the Los Angeles Rams. Nearly 100 girls from high schools across San Bernardino and Highland gathered at the San Bernardino High School football stadium.
The new league is part of SBCUSD’s Expanded Learning—Sunrise/CAPS program and was started in partnership with Athletes for Life (AFL) and former NFL Pro Bowl running back Greg Bell.
“We’re always looking for expanded learning activities that allow our students to experience new opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach to them,” said Ann Pearson, Expanded Learning Director in a statement. “Team sports expose our students to various valuable lessons that will help them now and in the future.”
Varsity girl’s flag football will be a sanctioned sport starting in 2025.
SBCUSD is the first Inland Empire school district to launch a flag football program for high school girls.
