Girls Flag Football is experiencing an explosive rise in popularity across the United States. According to a recent article in the Sports Business Journal, in just five short years, it’s gone from a niche sport to a powerhouse, earning a spot in the 2028 Summer Olympics and becoming a fully sanctioned sport in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (can the NCAA be far behind?). High school participation has skyrocketed—42,955 girls competed in the 2023-24 season alone, a mind-blowing 105% increase from the previous year. And across the country, nearly half a million girls aged 6 to 17 are now playing flag football. The numbers don’t lie: this is just the beginning.
To break it all down, Sasha is joined in studio by Whitney Warmus, a rising star in the Arizona sports scene, to talk about her exciting new role as the General Manager of the Cactus Cup League—a brand-new league in Arizona dedicated to middle and high school girls' flag football. The league is bringing a whole new level of competition, with a combine, draft, and all the excitement you’d expect from a professional sports league.
