SR 81 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

A RESOLUTION urging the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) to recognize girls flag football as an official sport for its member schools.

This resolution urges the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) to recognize girls flag football as an official sport for member schools. It directly affects high school girls in Kentucky who currently participate in unsanctioned pilot programs or the growing Kentucky Girls High School Flag Football Association (KGHSFFA), which expanded from 12 to 24 teams in two years. The resolution cites that 88 KHSAA member schools expressed interest in fielding teams if sanctioned, and notes 17 states have already recognized the sport. The Senate formally encourages KHSAA to take this step, but the resolution itself has no legal force and does not mandate any action.
