Girls Flag Football
The BNOA Executive Committee has recommended the addition of Girls Flag Football as a covered sport for the BNOA. The BNOA Constitution (Article 3.3) requires ten licensed officials in a sport and a majority of voting members approving in order for a sport to be officially added and recognized within the BNOA.
Girls flag football has grown significantly in the past couple years and many of our local schools have added the sport recently. In addition, several of our existing Association members are licensed and working Girls Flag games. Also, congratulations to member and Basketball VP, Chris White, for his selection to work the Girls Flag Football state finals this year!
The voting form can be accessed using the following link and will remain active through Tuesday, Nov. 10.
