Indiana Girls Flag Football: Stats, Sanctioning and Coach Guide

Indiana Girls High School Flag Football Coach Guide

State status snapshot

In Indiana, girls flag football has an IHSAA sanctioning vote pending, with independent and pilot programs already running across the state. Coaches building rosters now are setting the standard the eventual sanctioned league will inherit.

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

What vote-pending status means for an Indiana coach

This is the moment that defines how the sport is run in Indiana. Stat tracking matters more in this window, not less:

  • Standards are being set right now. The way pilot programs track stats becomes the league default.
  • Roster and stat workflows should be production-ready. Prepare like you are already sanctioned.
  • A clean season record is the program's case. Verified box scores demonstrate real competition to the IHSAA and to recruiters.

What stats to track in Indiana flag football

The categories that matter regardless of sanctioning:

  • 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.
