It's already been a busy offseason for the Dallas Cowboys.
No, they haven't traded for or signed a new superstar to help boost their path to the playoffs, but the team recently launched a new flag football league for high school female students across North Texas!
According to NBC DFW, the league will feature 2,000 female student-athletes across North Texas with games set to occur throughout March, April, and May. They will hold their games at The Star in Frisco.
The varsity-level program will involve the following school districts:
• Dallas Independent School District – 22 Campuses
• Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District – 4 Campuses
• Crowley Independent School District – 2 Campuses
• Cedar Hill Independent School District – 1 Campus, 2 Teams
• Arlington Independent School District – 6 Campuses
• Uplift Education – 2 Campuses • Duncanville Independent School District – 1 Campus
• DeSoto Independent School District – 1 Campus
• Fort Worth Independent School District – 15 Campuses, 16 Teams
• Austin Independent School District – 13 Campuses
• El Paso Region 19 Female Flag Football Pilot – 19 Campuses
Dallas Cowboys Co-Owner and Chief Brand Officer Charlotte Jones said of the new league, "I remember growing up it was called powder puff football in my day, and that truly is what it was, but it was just an after-school pickup game and now to see that this game, the game of flag football has the opportunity to send girls to college is truly amazing and beyond that to send them to the Olympics, we have really made such incredible strides and it's just exciting to see."
Along with this new league for high school students, more than 50 colleges and universities will be offering flag football as a women's varsity sport ahead of its premiere at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
