Bill > HRes587

This resolution encourages educational institutions across the United States to establish and support flag football programs specifically for girls and women. The resolution highlights that flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country and offers numerous benefits, including helping girls develop critical life skills such as character, teamwork, resilience, leadership, and confidence. The sport is described as low-contact, without height or weight restrictions, and accessible to girls of all skill levels. The resolution notes that over 100 colleges have already established varsity flag football programs for women and girls, and argues that expanding these programs would be beneficial not just for the participants, but also for their communities. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives is formally recommending that public, private, and charter high schools, colleges, and universities create and support flag football opportunities for girls and women, with the aim of expanding existing athletic opportunities.
