South Carolina Girls Flag Football: Coach and Stats Guide

Girls flag football is listed among Carolina High School's fall sports in Greenville. To find a program near you, start with the school's athletics page and the Carolina Panthers' girls flag football program. Confirm the team's schedule and competition rules with the school.

This guide is for the coach in that situation: what to pin down locally, and how to keep a season record that stands up.

Where South Carolina programs stand

• The Carolina Panthers run a girls high school flag football program supporting schools in the Carolinas.
• The same page describes the Panthers and the David and Nicole Tepper Foundation supporting girls flag football across North and South Carolina with grants, equipment, programming, and a funding commitment.
• Individual schools run the sport locally. Carolina High School in Greenville County Schools lists girls flag football among its fall sports, and its athletics page is where a coach finds the athletic department contacts.
• Check the South Carolina High School League directly for the current list of league sponsored sports before assuming any statewide structure exists for girls flag.

None of that gives you a rules book for your own schedule. Confirm that locally, with the school and the schools it plays.

Need something printable for game day? Start with the format comparison chart and the rest of the coach resources. If your teams play 7v7, the girls 7v7 stat sheet works as is.

What to confirm before your first game

Ask your athletic director for these in writing, and share the answers with everyone who touches the scorebook:

1. The rules document. Which rules book your officials work from, and where to get a copy.
2. The format. Players per side, field size, whether rushing is allowed, and how tries are scored. The format comparison chart lines the common options up side by side.
3. Overtime and any mercy or sportsmanship rule. Confirm both before the first close game.
4. Reporting. Whether scores go anywhere beyond your own records, and who is responsible for posting them.

Settle these once, and share the answers with everyone who touches the scorebook.

What to score every game

Choose a scorer before the game and agree on how the staff will record each stat.

Score every game:

• Touchdowns and who scored them
• Try attempts and results
• Passing attempts, completions, and interceptions thrown
• Rushing attempts and receptions by player
• Flag pulls, sacks, defensive interceptions, pass breakups, forced fumbles
• Safeties, turnovers committed, and turnovers forced
• Score by period and the final

Flag Football Stats: What Coaches Should Track explains why each of those earns its place, and the 7v7 girls stat sheet is a printable backup to keep on the clipboard.

Score the season in StatHawk

StatHawk is a coach-operated iPhone and iPad app for scoring flag football games. You score the plays. The live score, play-by-play, box score, player and team stats, and season totals are the outputs. StatHawk does not enforce any league's rules, so set it up to match the format your schools agreed to play.

1. Create the team in the format you play and load one roster with the names and numbers your school records use.
2. Pick Classic Mode or Yardage Mode and hold it. Classic Mode records outcomes and counting stats without requiring yardage. Yardage Mode adds offensive yardage on supported plays.
3. Practice the workflow in a scrimmage before a game counts.
4. Review before you finalize. Final score and score by period, touchdowns, tries, passing attempts and completions, turnovers, and player attribution.
5. Share the GameView link, a read-only browser view of the game families open without an account or a download. In a new program that visibility is how the sport gets known at your school.
6. Use the exports. Standard PDF game and season reports and the completed game play-by-play CSV are what you hand to players, parents, and your athletic director.

The season routine is in How to Track Girls Flag Football Stats All Season, and stat definitions for the high school game are in How to Track High School Flag Football Stats.

The MaxPreps file, if your school uses MaxPreps

StatHawk is a MaxPreps stat import partner. For an eligible finalized high school game, StatHawk exports a MaxPreps file. You save or share the file, then import it yourself through MaxPreps Team Admin. The file does not set the final score or game result, and there is no sync, API connection, or automatic upload.

Ask your athletic director whether your school uses MaxPreps for girls flag before building a routine around it. The walkthrough is in How to Export Flag Football Stats to MaxPreps.
