Georgia Girls Flag Football: Stats, Sanctioning and Coach Guide

Georgia Girls High School Flag Football Coach Guide

State status snapshot

Girls flag football is sanctioned in Georgia by the GHSA, with the state championship played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and program growth backed by the Atlanta Falcons. Hundreds of schools compete across multiple classifications.

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

What sanctioning means for a Georgia coach

A GHSA program is a varsity sport with a deep bracket. That changes the stat picture:

• Season-long data is the standard. Recognition and seeding are built across the regular season.
• Per-game accountability is the unit. Box scores become part of the program's permanent record.
• Workflow has to scale. A deep bracket demands a tool that survives the season.

What stats to track in GHSA 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.
