THE GORGE — The Delegate Assembly of the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) voted in girls flag football as an OSAA-sanctioned activity at the assembly’s Oct. 12 meeting.
Oregon is the 25th state to sanction girls flag football as an activity. Girls flag football will begin its inaugural season as a sanctioned activity in Spring of 2027.
Flag football will be featured at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. In Oregon, the Seattle Seahawks have aided in the growth of girls flag football through providing support to the culminating event the last three seasons, donating $30,000 to expand opportunities across the state, and provided equipment to help schools launch their flag football programs.
Nike has also pledged to provide a set of home and away jerseys for all Oregon varsity teams that compete in the inaugural season, as well as any school which adds girls flag football over the first three seasons as a sanctioned activity. Fifty-seven varsity teams competed last spring in flag football in Oregon.
