Grid Kids to start girls flag football this fall
MOSES LAKE – Grid Kids Football has partnered with NFL Flag to bring more flag football opportunities to girls in grades 1-12 with practices starting in August and their season starting this Fall. “I think there is a general movement in women and girls flag football,” said JD Houvener, the NFL Flag Football League organizer for Moses Lake. “It’s just going to continue leading up to the 2028 Olympics where it's going to debut for the first time as an Olympic sport.”
