Program Support. Startup costs for a girls flag football team typically range from $5,000 to $8,000, covering equipment, uniforms, coaching stipends and training. To help offset these expenses, the Colts are providing up to $10,000 per school for programs launching through the “Road to 100.”

Free Training for Girls Flag Football Officials. To support the sport’s growth, the Colts offer free training for current and aspiring girls flag football officials. Through a partnership with RefReps, the Colts have funded officiating education for 500 officials, helping ensure player safety and game quality.
