""There's over 20 million people playing flag football worldwide right now. Over half of a million girls [ages] 6 to 17 play flag. Right now, a girl in Kansas can't play for a state championship and can't play organized high school flag football. What this vote does is give them that opportunity.""
""What we do know is flag, globally, is growing very fast. It's growing fast in the U.S., particularly the female demographic. There's lots of positive statistics about a translation of people who played flag football.""
The Kansas City Chiefs initiated the 'Let Her Play' campaign to advocate for the sanctioning of girls' flag football in Kansas. A video showcased girls currently playing the sport and emphasized the dreams of those unable to participate. The Chiefs aim to raise awareness before the KSHSAA's vote on April 23. They believe sanctioning will provide more opportunities for girls to play and potentially advance to college. Participation in girls' flag football in Kansas increased by 163% from 2024 to 2025, reflecting the sport's growing popularity.
