Louisville Area Athletic Directors Introduce Girls Flag Football League

Louisville area athletic directors are joining forces to bring a new opportunity to female athletes this fall with the introduction of a girls flag football league. As football season approaches, a new team is gearing up to hit the field and make their mark in the sports scene.

Head coach David Magee of Mercy Academy is leading the charge in establishing the first-ever girls flag football team at the school. With experience in building successful football programs, Magee is excited to set the foundation for what Mercy football will become.

For Magee, the creation of this team represents more than just a new sport – it’s a chance for female athletes to continue playing the game they love beyond middle school. The opportunity to compete in high school opens up a world of possibilities for these girls, providing a pathway for them to pursue their passion for football.

Assistant coach Brock Gabel echoes Magee’s sentiment, highlighting the significance of breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for young female athletes. The introduction of the girls flag football league not only provides a platform for these athletes to showcase their skills but also fosters a connection between fathers and daughters through a shared love for the game.

As the inaugural season of the girls flag football league approaches, excitement is building among players, coaches, and fans alike. The future looks bright for female football players in the Louisville area, thanks to the collaborative efforts of athletic directors and coaches who are dedicated to expanding opportunities for girls in sports.
