Girls Flag Football in Texas High Schools

[dav-joel]

How about Texas High Schools starting girl's flag football?

Its gonna happen.

What ya think?

[Ty Cobb]

Will it be part of the UIL?  What sport will the boys get in return?

[dav-joel]

The FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Assoc.) sanctions the sport, and even has a state championship and 4,000 girls in 146 schools participated.

Don't know what if any sport the guys will get. (Do they really need another????)

[BadMedicine]

This would be a big boondoggle adding girls' football.  Most school districts already have budget problems, difficulty in hiring coaches and practice/playing facilities.  I hope there is no truth to this. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

They take it seriously up here in Alaska, have a state title game and all.

Boy, I can see potential problems with girls football. I guess they would have to schedule games around boys football because they would have to use the same field and I guess the same field house bucause of proximity of the field/statium etc... maybe like a Saturday afternoon game.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

out here they play anytime during the week long as it doesnt mess up the schedule for the boys, sometime they play before the boys do.

Midnight sun and Girls football. Can't beat that.

Yea I agree, scheduling on Friday, Saturday, etc should be manageble.

Gives the "non cheerleader types" a chance to participate under the Friday night  lights. (or midnight sun)
