Women’s Flag Leadership (WFL)

Come to our ZOOM ORIENTATION: SATURDAY, February 7, 2026 @ 10:15 AM

Our girls need role models. That’s true in any field, but especially Girls Flag. And especially in a city with a nation-leading participation gap between boys and girls. 

Women’s Flag Role Models (female coaches, referees, etc.) needn’t be Girls Flag alums. We can train you on the x’s and o’s. What we need are sports-positive women who are kind, compassionate and believe in the power of athletics. 

Are you interested? Do you know a great candidate? Fill out & sign up to attend our Staff Orientation. We’re trying to meet and train 150 leaders by February 7, 2026!

    In fact, some of our current female staff members joined Flag Star with zero football background and are now coaching on our Girls Elite teams. We’re looking for great role models first; the football knowledge comes with training.

  • Absolutely! We offer competitive pay. More information will be provided at Orientation.

  • You’ll begin by attending a one‑hour orientation. After completing the orientation and required trainings, you’ll be placed in a coaching or refereeing role based on your interest.
