As the 2026 high school football season approaches, girls flag football continues to gain traction in Kentucky. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside has become the first institution in the state to offer women's flag football scholarships, according to a recent report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. This development comes as the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) continues to monitor the growth of the sport. With the pre-season underway, teams across the state are preparing for the upcoming season. The KHSAA has not yet released official schedules or rankings for the 2026 season. As interest in girls flag football continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how the sport evolves in Kentucky.
