Hand Tigers Flag Footballers Eye Scholarship Opportunities Amid CIAC Expansion
As the CIAC announces its pilot district expansion for girls flag football, Hand Tigers athletes are primed to capitalize on emerging scholarship pathways. With the University of Nebraska's inaugural 2028 season on the horizon, coaches Liz and Katie Sowers are actively recruiting top talent. Ottawa University, Kansas, a national powerhouse with up to 12 scholarships, is also a prime destination for aspiring flag footballers. Meanwhile, Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are actively recruiting athletes with the potential to excel in the sport. For those in the CIAC's new districts, UT Arlington's development of a D1 program presents a promising future opportunity. Interested athletes should research these programs and schedule meetings with coaches to explore potential scholarship opportunities.
