A Plea for More Girls Football Teams

Submitted By: Kayla Mills | Age: 17

I attend a high school in Arizona that really loves football. Me and a few friends are trying to start an all girls football at our school and they told us we can’t unless we have more girls in the state that would be willing to play against us.

Please let this move you to start a girl’s football team and just because we’re women doesn’t mean we can’t be as good or better than these guys!!!!!!

    I was speaking to a third grade class this morning about Girls Can’t WHAT? and I told them by the time they get to high school they will probably be seeing girls football teams just like we have girls basketball and other female sports.

    The girls football movement is gaining speed. Keep pushing it Kayla and you will see results. If you search the site, you will find a lot of other girls who play football and several threads about girls football. It’s a big deal and it’s just a matter of time before it happens!
