In the sporting world, nothing has as much momentum as Women’s flag football.
The Minnesota Vikings have recognized the popularity after launching programs in Minnesota over the past couple years.
Randi Litchy, recreation supervisor with the Fargo Parks system, says the NFL team recently reached out to Fargo as a site for pilot project for North Dakota.
“They’re helping us get this off the ground. We’re looking for high school age girls to create teams," she says. "We will have games on Sundays with practice once a week.”
Litchy says the timing is right. Fargo Parks had been looking for an opportunity to find activities for high school age players. She says registration has opened and names will be collected until April 1, or until all spots are filled.
“Practices will start on April 13 with the regular season getting started April 26, and will run through early June with playoffs and a State Championship,” she says.
High school athletes interested in playing girls flag football can find out more at the Fargo Parks website.
