The biggest focus of this game is on girls and women. The partnership anticipates creating more opportunities for them.

The aim of this is to recruit as many coaches as possible for the sport.

Flag Football Facts that Boost the Formed Partnership

It is among the sports that have the fastest growth rates globally. This is a game that is inclusive for all people who do not want to get into the physical injuries associated with football.

Some people might be new to this sport, but it is one that is quickly gaining ascendancy in the sporting world. It is not surprising that most people who are into traditional American football and NFL odds are a bit skeptical when it comes to this relatively new sport.

The game shares the basic rules of American football, but the tackling is replaced with flag pulling. The rules of traditional American football are modified to suit a more recreational sport. According to the NFL, the game is played by over 20 million people across over 100 countries globally. Women and girls are leading in the growth of the game.

The NFL and BAFA are seeing great future odds

According to Henry Hodgson, the managing director of NFL UK, growing Flag Football globally is a top priority for the NFL. This is one of the reasons the NFL partnered with BAFA. They also emphasized the fact that the relationship between the NFL and the BAFA would necessitate accelerated growth and development of the sport in the UK in the coming years.

According to Hodgson Flag football is a great way to allow the youth to discover the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and friendships. "With this BAFA partnership, we will inspire and enable more people to play Flag Football in the UK than ever before."

"The NFL and BAFA share a mutual ambition to develop and grow the game of Flag Football, providing more opportunities for young people to play the sport," added Pete Ackerley, BAFA's chief executive officer. The partnership will combine BAFA's intimate knowledge of the sport and networks with the NFL's ambition to reach new audiences and establish the best structures to run the game.
