    Pennsylvania Girls Flag Football: Stats, Sanctioning and Coach Guide

    Pennsylvania Girls High School Flag Football Coach Guide

    State status snapshot

    Girls flag football is sanctioned in Pennsylvania by the PIAA, with Eagles and Steelers infrastructure backing program growth across both the eastern and western halves of the state.

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

    What sanctioning means for a Pennsylvania coach

    A sanctioned PIAA program is a varsity sport. That raises the standard on stats:

    • Verified per-game box scores are expected. Recruiters and rivals look at game-by-game record, not just totals.
    • Season-long data is the conversation. Recognition is built across the body of work.
    • Workflow has to scale. Paper falls apart by mid-season; pick a tool that does not.

    What stats to track in PIAA flag football

    The categories that matter in a 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.

    See Flag Football Stats: What Coaches Should Track for context.

    StatHawk is the free iOS stat app built for flag football coaches. The Pennsylvania workflow:

    1. Create the team in your PIAA format and load the roster before opener week.
    2. Pick Classic Mode for fast scoring or Yardage Mode for play-by-play yardage.
    3. Tap plays live from the sideline. StatHawk builds the box score from the plays you record.
    4. Share the live GameView link with parents before kickoff. No app, no login, no subscription.
    5. Export a PDF box score or postgame share card after the game.
    6. For an eligible finalized high school personal-team game, export the MaxPreps file and import it through MaxPreps Team Admin.

    If service drops during an already active game, you can keep scoring on that device, and pending plays sync when the connection returns.
