Beginning in the Spring of '26, girls will complete for a state title in flag football.  Is this something KY is even considering?  I know quite a few schools play it at a club level.

TB, I've heard flag football is coming but KY is struggling with where to put it.  In the fall or spring or summer (like baseball).  Dealing with another group needing a field to play on during these seasons.  I heard about it the beginning of last Spring Season and at that time I heard KY was thinking of putting it as a Fall sport, but nothing more after that!  Will be interesting to hear as it will impact other sports going during that season.

Feels like it fits better in the spring. I'd think you would have a lot of soccer girls that would play. You'd also avoid overcrowding fields which in the fall often service both soccer teams plus freshman, JV, and varsity football.

It seems most teams that I've seen play in the spring.  That seems like the best time.  As mentioned, I could see a lot of soccer players taking up the sports to get workouts in in the off season.   Could also draw some track and cross country runners, if schedules permit, that can continue to get in runs and work on speed.
