HRES 587 United States House · 119th Congress

Encouraging all public, private, and charter high schools, colleges, and universities in the United States to establish and support flag football programs for girls, and for other purposes.

HRES 587 is a non-binding House resolution encouraging all U.S. public, private, and charter high schools, colleges, and universities to establish and support girls' flag football programs. It highlights flag football's growth as a low-contact, accessible sport that builds life skills like teamwork and leadership, noting over 100 colleges already have women's varsity programs. The resolution expresses support for expanding such programs to benefit girls, schools, and communities, without creating new laws or funding requirements. As a symbolic measure, it does not mandate action or allocate resources.
