Texas Sports Academy, a new educational institution based in Frisco, Texas, is set to open its doors in the fall of 2026 as the nation’s first dedicated flag football school for girls.
The school will blend rigorous academics with elite athletic training, offering two focused hours of classroom instruction each morning and more than three hours of specialized flag football drills, leadership workshops and NIL‑focused life‑skills sessions each afternoon.
A New Model for Girls Sports
Designed for students in grades six through twelve, the inaugural cohort will be capped at roughly twenty founding families, a deliberate limit that underscores the academy’s commitment to personalized attention.
Odessa Jenkins, founder and chief executive of the Women’s National Football Conference, and former NFL All‑Pro Anquan Boldin will lend their expertise as founding advisors, bringing decades of professional experience to the program.
Loryn Goodwin, a former USA National Team standout and WNBA veteran, has been named the academy’s inaugural head coach, overseeing both the on‑field curriculum and the broader developmental mission.
The campus boasts a 60‑yard indoor and outdoor turf field, an NBA‑regulation basketball court, a state‑of‑the‑art performance center, a Gatorade Sports Science Lab, a recovery suite, a nutrition bar, modern classrooms, a student lounge, on‑site medical services and more.
Beyond athletics, the academy’s philosophy centers on cultivating confident, limitless young women who are prepared to excel in college, careers, sports and life, positioning itself as the premier destination for girls football across the United States.
