Girls Flag Football Progam Launches March 30 In Radnor

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Young ladies in Radnor Township are invited to join the parks and recreation department's new flag football program.

The township is partnering with Skyhawks Flag Football to host the program.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of passing, receiving, kicking, and flag pulling, all while emphasizing heart, sportsmanship, and team spirit.

The program aims to build confidence and develop important life skills, such as teamwork and leadership in a fun, supportive environment.

"With the rapid rise in popularity of girls flag football — and with the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association officially recognizing girls flag football as a sanctioned high school sport — the momentum and excitement around the game has never been greater," Radnor Township Recreation Program Director Bekir Altunbas said. "Now is the perfect time for girls to get involved, develop their skills, and be part of one of the fastest-growing sports in the country."

The program is broken up into two age groups, 5 to 8 and 9 to 12, and two sets of sessions, one from March 30 to April 27 and the other from May 11 to June 15. Sessions will not be held on May 25.

Younger participants will play from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and the older group will play from 6:40 p.m. to 7:40 p.m. All events will take place Mondays at North Wayne Park at North Wayne and Beechtree avenues.

Every participant will get a free Skyhawks T-shirt and a glow-in-the-dark wristband.

Registration is $135 per person, but fees will be applied to non-Radnor residents who sign up.
