    Indiana Girls Flag Football: IHSAA Status and Coach Guide

    Indiana Girls Flag Football: IHSAA Status and Coach Guide

    State status snapshot

    The IHSAA lists girls flag football as an emerging sport in Indiana, with school, independent, and pilot programs already competing across the state. Emerging status does not by itself create a sanctioned season or a state championship. Confirm current status and any tournament structure with the IHSAA before you plan a season.

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

    What emerging sport status means for an Indiana coach

    Program practices set now become the reference point if the sport advances. 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 document real competition for the school, the IHSAA, and college coaches.

    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.
