Bill > HR347

This resolution urges all Georgia high schools to establish flag football programs specifically for girls, highlighting the sport's growing popularity and numerous benefits. Flag football is described as a low-contact sport without height or weight restrictions, making it accessible to girls of all skill levels and athletic backgrounds. The resolution emphasizes that flag football can help girls develop critical life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and confidence, while also providing beneficial physical activity. The document notes that over 100 colleges have already established varsity flag football programs for women and girls, suggesting that expanding such programs at the high school level would be advantageous not only for the participants but also for the broader community. Additionally, the resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press, thereby raising awareness about the potential of flag football as a valuable athletic opportunity for female students.
