The NCAA's recent approval of flag football as an emerging sport has sent shockwaves through the high school football landscape, including in Tennessee. The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) will likely play a key role in shaping the future of flag football in the state. As the governing body for high school athletics in Tennessee, the TSSAA will work to establish rules and guidelines for flag football programs. With the 2026 season just around the corner, coaches and administrators are likely to be busy preparing for the new sport. The NCAA's decision is a significant development for flag football, and it will be interesting to see how it impacts high school programs in Tennessee and beyond.
