The sport became officially sanctioned on Tuesday at CHSAA’s Legislative Council meeting at the DCSD Legacy Campus, passing by a vote of 57-9 with five abstentions. It will begin in the fall with two classifications as the association’s 27th sport.
In two years as a pilot program, girls flag football underwent explosive growth, capping out with about 1,300 players across 52 schools this past season. Colorado is the 11th state to sanction girls flag football.
With the sport now sanctioned, CHSAA’s next step will be to create a girls flag football committee, which will happen this week. A postseason format is among the first details that needs to be determined, as well as where the Class 5A and 4A championships will be held. During the pilot seasons, the tournament was played at the Broncos’ Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse.
The sport will be under the direction of CHSAA assistant commissioner Justin Saylor.
This story will be updated.
