Alabama State University will hold a press conference to announce the head coach of the school’s inaugural women’s flag football team.
Women’s flag football is quickly growing in popularity. Over 85 high schools in Alabama have implemented flag football into their athletic programs. And now colleges and universities are following suit.
ASU Athletic Director Dr. Jason Cable says they’re excited to be adding women’s flag football to their athletic offerings.
“We can’t wait to see the impact of women’s flag football as one of our sports offerings for the Hornet Nation’s student-athletes,” Cable said. “We’re enthusiastic that Alabama State University is breaking new ground by launching a highly competitive women’s flag football program.”
ASU will be the first Division 1 HBCU school to offer a women’s flag football program.
The head coach announcement will take place at 1 p.m. in the Club Lounge of the ASU Stadium.
