Girls National Flag League is a national platform being built for elite girls flag football clubs, regional competition, showcase events, recruiting visibility, and championship pathways.

GNFL is designed to help clubs compete in a more organized structure while giving athletes more opportunities to be seen.

GNFL is preparing for a Fall 2026 launch with a phased regional rollout.

The first phase will focus on identifying founding clubs, regional partners, host sites, and showcase opportunities.

GNFL is built for:

• Girls flag football clubs

• Club directors and organizers

• Coaches

• Athletes

• Parents

• College coaches and scouts

• Event hosts

• Sponsors and partners

The platform is designed to support both competitive club growth and athlete visibility.

GNFL is being built as a club-based league platform with regional competition, showcase events, playoffs, and a national championship pathway.

Tournaments and showcases may be part of the event structure, but the long-term goal is to create a more organized league pathway for girls flag football.

Clubs can begin by submitting the Club Application or contacting GNFL through the website.

GNFL will review each club based on location, team structure, competitive level, leadership, athlete development approach, and ability to meet basic club and game-day standards.

A founding club is one of the early clubs helping GNFL launch its first phase of regional competition and national programming.

Founding clubs may have the opportunity to help shape early league structure, regional alignment, showcase opportunities, standards, and launch-year priorities.

GNFL is a strong fit for clubs that:

• Already operate girls flag football teams

• Want stronger regional competition

• Are committed to athlete development

• Value recruiting visibility

• Can support organized communication and scheduling

• Want to help build a national pathway for girls flag football

Athletes will participate through GNFL member clubs, regional events, showcases, and future player visibility opportunities.

As GNFL develops, athletes and families will be able to join the launch list to receive updates on clubs, events, and recruiting resources.
