Texas Girls Flag Football: Stats, Sanctioning and Coach Guide

Texas Girls High School Flag Football Coach Guide

State status snapshot

Girls flag football in Texas is currently played through independent and pilot programs. The UIL has not sanctioned the sport, but club and league participation is growing rapidly across the state with NFL franchise backing in multiple metros.

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

What pilot status means for a Texas coach

Without a state mandate, the coach's own record is the program's only record. That makes stat tracking more important, not less:

• Pre-sanctioning is when standards get set. Early-mover programs define how the league tracks stats.
• A clean season record builds the case. Verified box scores are how a pilot program demonstrates real competition.
• Recruiting visibility is on the coach. Players in pilot leagues need season data that travels.

What stats to track in Texas 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.
