A new season of the Dallas Cowboys Girls Flag Football League is set to begin later this month, with over 100 high school teams participating this spring. The league’s expansion comes as flag football gains momentum leading up to its debut in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The Dallas Cowboys organization is actively providing resources to support the growth of girls flag football in anticipation of the Olympic Games, according to a recent announcement. This initiative aligns with the broader effort to establish flag football as a prominent sport in the United States and internationally.
The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, slated to run from July 14 to July 30, will be the largest Games ever held, encompassing 36 sports and 51 disciplines across 49 competition venues in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City. The inclusion of flag football marks a significant step for the sport’s visibility and development.
Athlon Sports reported that the timing of the Cowboys’ schedule allows for potential participation of players in the 2028 Olympics, with the schedule aligning favorably with the start of training camp. This suggests a strategic approach by the team to support its athletes’ Olympic aspirations.
The Dallas Cowboys Girls Flag Football League’s season two kickoff represents a continued investment in the sport at the grassroots level, aiming to cultivate talent and enthusiasm for flag football among young athletes as the 2028 Olympics draw closer.
