MINNEAPOLIS — Two schools in the St. Cloud region will be competing in Minnesota’s first girls flag football season this spring.
On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings announced the launch of the first statewide flag football league for high school girls. The NFL team sponsored a four-team pilot league in the spring 2024 season and is contributing $600,000 in 2025 “to support the league and participating schools,” according to a release from the Vikings.
St. Cloud Tech and Sartell-St. Stephen will be among the 51 schools fielding teams in the spring 2025 season. With outstate programs grouped into pods of four, there will be four weeks of Sunday doubleheaders starting April 27.
