"Football brings people from all walks of life together for a common goal and teaches skills like teamwork, discipline and confidence that are important to success in life," said Kalen Jackson, Colts Vice Chair & Owner. "The Colts Flag Football League will provide kids a safe and fun way to learn the fundamentals of the game and help bring the sport to even more young people across our state."
"We're especially excited about the new opportunities flag football offers for girls to learn and play the sport, which only will help grow the game in Indiana and beyond," Jackson added.
Over the past four years, the Colts have been committed to advancing flag football throughout Indiana with year-round programming for players, coaches, and parents. Examples include:
- High School Girls Flag Football Pilot League, established in 2023 and includes eight high school teams from Indianapolis and South Bend, Ind.
- Colts High School Girls Flag Football Clinics, fueled by Gatorade and supported by USA Football.
- NFL FLAG Championships at Pro Bowl Games, where the Colts have helped send 11 teams from five states to the competitions in Orlando and Las Vegas over the past two years.
- Colts Unified Flag Classic, which provide high school students with and without intellectual disabilities the opportunity to participate together on a team and collectively represent their school in sanctioned activities, providing a quality experience in an inclusive environment.
