Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This is a non-binding resolution that encourages high schools and colleges across the country to create and fund flag football programs for girls. The measure highlights that flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States and argues it offers girls valuable benefits including teamwork, leadership, confidence, and physical fitness while being accessible to athletes of all skill levels and body types since it's a low-contact sport with no height or weight restrictions. The resolution notes that over 100 colleges have already established women's flag football programs and suggests that expanding these opportunities at the high school and college levels would benefit participating girls as well as their communities. Since this is a resolution rather than a bill, it does not include funding or enforcement mechanisms—it simply expresses Congress's support for schools to voluntarily establish these programs. The measure was introduced by Representative Williams of Georgia and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce in July 2025.
