development of girls & women's flag football
At Athletes Rise, we're dedicated to leveling the playing field for women in sports. While we wholeheartedly support all women's sports, our focus is on driving progress and expanding opportunities for Girls and Women's Flag Football. This dynamic sport is experiencing rapid growth nationwide and has earned NAIA sanctioning.
​
Our mission at Athletes Rise is to broaden the reach of Women's Flag Football. We're committed to achieving this by nurturing youth flag football travel teams and hosting local flag football tournaments.
​
We're thrilled to announce the establishment of the Jr. Stockmen, a middle and high school flag football team based in Omaha, Nebraska. This is just the beginning of our efforts to cultivate flag football talent in the Midwest.
​
In addition to fostering competition, we're proud to offer scholarship opportunities for young athletes to participate in youth-level sports. Moreover, we're paving the way for girls to pursue their passion for flag football at the collegiate level through NAIA scholarships.
​
While our initial focus is on flag football, Athletes Rise remains steadfast in our commitment to empowering young girls in sports. We're actively seeking avenues to make a meaningful impact in other sports over time. Join us as we champion equality and opportunity for women in athletics.
