Cibola Cougars Girls Flag Football Athletes Poised for Growth Amidst NMAA Pilot Program
As the NMAA flag football pilot program expands to new districts in Texas, Cibola Cougars girls flag football athletes are primed to capitalize on emerging scholarship opportunities. The University of Nebraska, set to launch its inaugural 2028 season, has already begun recruiting top talent. Coaches Liz and Katie Sowers are expected to offer up to 12 scholarships. Meanwhile, Ottawa University, Kansas, a national powerhouse in NAIA flag football, will continue to offer up to 12 scholarships. Keiser University, Florida, and Midland University, Nebraska, are also actively recruiting. Athletes from Cibola and other Texas schools should focus on building relationships with these programs and preparing for the 2028 recruiting cycle. With the NMAA pilot program's expansion, Texas athletes now have a clear path to securing scholarships in girls flag football. As the sport continues to grow, Cibola Cougars athletes are well-positioned to take advantage of these emerging opportunities.
