On Monday, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) announced Washington will be the 15th state to sanction it as an official high school sport.

Girls flag football has been officially recognized as a sanctioned high school sport in New York, marking a significant milestone for the sport's growth and development. This decision by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association allows for the establishment of organized leagues, official competitions, and the potential for scholarships, thereby providing more opportunities for female athletes to engage in and excel at flag football. The move is seen as a step towards greater gender equality in sports and is expected to inspire other states to follow suit, further promoting the sport nationwide.
