Boise Girls Flag Football - Ages 8 - 14

Girls-3

Girls Flag Football is new in 2024 – from Optimist Youth Football in association with Treasure Valley Women’s Flag Football (TVWF)!

This 5 on 5 program, known as Girls Flag 5s, is the same sport that will be introduced in the Olympics in 2028. Girls will learn the fundamentals of football. This is one of the most exciting developments since Optimist Youth Football was born in the Treasure Valley more than 75 years ago.

Even more exciting, our goal is to have a woman coach or mentor for each of the teams. In 2024, only 14 states have a Girls Flag Football program.
