Bill > SR81

This resolution urges the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA), the governing body for high school sports in Kentucky, to officially recognize and sanction girls flag football as a sport for its member schools. The resolution highlights the growing popularity of flag football, especially among girls, due to its reduced risk of injury compared to traditional football, and notes that many other states have already adopted it as an official sport. It also points to the success of pilot programs in Kentucky, like the Kentucky Girls High School Flag Football Association (KGHSFFA), and a survey indicating strong interest from Kentucky high schools in fielding flag football teams if the KHSAA were to sponsor it, thereby expanding athletic opportunities for young women.
