Florida Girls Flag Football: Stats, Sanctioning and Coach Guide

Florida Girls High School Flag Football Coach Guide

State status snapshot

Girls flag football is sanctioned in Florida by the FHSAA. It is the longest-running varsity girls flag program in the country, with hundreds of schools, deep regional brackets, and the most experienced recruiting market in the sport.

See the full national picture on the state-by-state sanctioning tracker.

What sanctioning means for a Florida coach

Florida is past the "is this a real sport" phase. That changes how coaches need to think about stats:

• Verified box scores are expected. Recruiters and rival programs look up your team's record game by game.
• Season-long data is the standard. Single-game highlights do not stand out in a market this deep.
• Roster decisions are data-driven. Distribution at every skill position gets evaluated across the bracket.

In a state with this much depth, paper-only stat tracking puts your program at a real disadvantage.

What stats to track in FHSAA flag football

The categories that matter in a 7v7 sanctioned game:

• Passing. Completions, attempts, completion percentage, passing yards, passing touchdowns, interceptions, sacks taken.
• Rushing. Carries, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns where the ruleset allows the run.
• Receiving. Receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns by player.
• Defense. Flag pulls, sacks, interceptions, pass breakups, forced fumbles.
• Scoring and conversions. Touchdowns plus 1-point and 2-point PAT attempts.
• Team box score. Score by half, turnovers committed and forced, total team yards.

For why each category matters, see Flag Football Stats: What Coaches Should Track.

Recommended StatHawk workflow

StatHawk is the free iOS stat app built for flag football coaches. A Florida program's workflow:

1. Create the team with the 7v7 Girls format, load the full roster before week one.
2. Pick Classic Mode for fast scoring or Yardage Mode to log passing, rushing, and receiving yards play by play.
3. Tap plays live from the sideline. StatHawk builds the box score automatically.
4. Share the live GameView link with parents before kickoff. No app, no login, no subscription for them.
5. Export a PDF box score or postgame share card right after the game.
6. For MaxPreps, submit the PDF using your Stat Supplier ID.

Offline save and sync handles a spotty connection in a sideline scrum.

Get StatHawk free on the App Store.
