High School
Girls Flag Football, Hoops Shot Clock a No-Go... For Now
The University Interscholastic League Legislative Council will continue studying proposals to sanction girls' flag football and add a shot clock in basketball.
The UIL Standing Committee on Athletics voted Wednesday to continue studying separate proposals to add girls' flag football and a shot clock for basketball, rather than passing or rejecting them outright.
This spring, the Dallas Cowboys launched a high school girls' flag football league with 86 participating high schools across the State of Texas. Girls' flag football has gained popularity across the United States. Fourteen other state high school athletic associations have sanctioned it, and the sport will be added to the 2028 Olympics. Dave Campbell's Texas Football even partnered with the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans to livestream the first-ever Texas Girls Flag Football Championships.
