德州批准高中女子腰旗橄榄球试点项目：2028-29学年启动 最多设两个级别
德克萨斯州 Austin 消息：德州校际联盟（UIL）立法委员会10月19日在 Austin 举行的秋季年会上投票批准，着手制定高中女子腰旗橄榄球试点项目，为这项运动成为德州公立高中的正式比赛项目铺路。
试点项目预计于2028-29学年开始，初期最多设两个级别，每个级别设州冠军赛，并设地区、区域等晋级赛事。UIL 工作人员将制定规则与指引，实施方案定于2027年6月的立法委员会会议上提出；赛季时间、比赛形式等后勤细节尚未确定，相关条款于2028年8月1日生效。
UIL 今秋对全州学区总监的调查显示，5A 与 6A 学校受访者中有 52% 赞成把女子腰旗橄榄球列为正式项目，全州已有 165 所学校开展这项运动。据《今日美国报》报道，2026 年春季赛季全州有 220 多所学校、4,000 多名女生参赛，Dallas Cowboys 与 Houston Texans 今年 6 月主办了首届州冠军赛，此前两队已以试点与推广方式支持该项目四年。Houston Texans 基金会首席社区官 Hannah McNair 预计，明年参赛人数将接近 6,000 人。
在全美范围，女子腰旗橄榄球正快速增长：到 2027 年秋季，预计将有 25 个州把它列为正式高中体育项目，俄勒冈州上周刚获批准、成为最新一州；这项运动将在 2028 年洛杉矶（Los Angeles）奥运会上首次亮相，NCAA 也已建议在 2028 年把它设为大学锦标赛项目。（GSM 据 UIL 立法委员会会议与《今日美国报》等报道）
Texas UIL Approves Girls Flag Football Pilot Program: To Begin in 2028-29 With No More Than Two Classifications
Austin, Texas: The University Interscholastic League (UIL) Legislative Council voted on October 19 at its annual fall meeting in Austin to approve the development of a girls flag football pilot program, further establishing a path for the growing sport to become a sanctioned activity in Texas public high schools.
The pilot program is expected to begin in the 2028-29 school year and initially include no more than two classifications. It would include a state championship in each conference, with district, regional or other qualifying events. UIL staff will develop rules and guidelines, with an implementation plan to be presented at the June 2027 Legislative Council meeting; the timing of the season, competition format and other logistical details have yet to be determined, and the provisions take effect August 1, 2028.
A fall 2026 survey of Texas school district superintendents found that 52% of respondents from Class 5A and 6A schools favored sanctioning girls flag football, and 165 schools indicated they already participate in the sport. According to USA Today, more than 4,000 high school girls played across 220 schools during the spring 2026 season, and the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans hosted their inaugural state championship this past June, after four years of pilot programs and expansion. Hannah McNair, chief community officer of the Houston Texans Foundation, expects nearly 6,000 athletes to participate next year.
Nationally, girls flag football continues to gain momentum: 25 states are expected to have sanctioned the sport by the fall of 2027, with Oregon becoming the latest just last week. The sport will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, and the NCAA has recommended making flag football a championship collegiate sport by 2028.
