Savannah summer flag football league targets younger female players
A new Savannah summer league is giving girls aged 7–14 a chance to play 5-on-5 flag football in an all-female setting. Now in its second season, the Turf Love league has partnered with NFL Flag Jacksonville Jaguars to offer registration sponsorships for its fall program. Last year’s six teams and roughly 60–70 players have doubled to about 130 signups so far, with registration still open. Community groups like the Frank Callen Boys & Girls Club and ILA Local 1414 Union have donated gear and referee funding to support the growth. Organizers are recruiting volunteers now to coach, referee, and mentor the next wave of female flag stars

The Turf Legends travel program out of T3 Performance in Avon fields 16 teams for boys and girls ages 6–14, offering two weekly practices and five-plus tournaments across Ohio and Michigan. In its inaugural season, the club saw the 10U and 12U boys win their divisions at the Cleveland Browns NFL Flag qualifier and earn national championship berths at Canton’s Pro Football Hall of Fame complex. Girls like Skylar Hotz are gaining confidence and skill by competing at higher levels, inspired by U.S. Women’s National Team member Izzy Geraci. Coaches say road trips, tournament play, and facing unfamiliar opponents are key to accelerating development. Program founders hope to expand both boys’ and girls’ squads and spark similar travel clubs throughout Northeast Ohio.
