Inaugural Girls Flag Football All‑American Team Announced
NBC Sports and Overtime have teamed up to name the first ever group of girls flag football All‑Americans, spotlighting the brightest student‑athletes from across the country.
The selection process blends on‑field excellence with academic achievement and community service, ensuring that the honorees excel beyond the game.
A Partnership Expanding the Narrative
Gary Quinn, vice president of programming and general manager of owned properties at NBC, said the initiative reflects a pride in recognizing exceptional young leaders. The collaboration also brings Overtime’s OT7 league to a national audience, amplifying the sport’s visibility.
Since its surge in popularity, girls flag football has been adopted as an official high school sport in 16 states, and the NCAA is charting a path toward a championship level of competition.
The momentum will culminate at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where flag football will make its debut, promising a new Olympic spectacle that underscores the sport’s growing legitimacy.
Fans can follow the featured athletes on NBC Sports and Overtime platforms, where their stories will be told through video highlights, interviews and behind‑the‑scenes content.
