PAL Helping Youth of Today to be Adults of Tomorrow

Girls Flag Football

We are making HISTORY!

New and Important Updates for the 2023 Fall Season
The Westfield PAL Girls Flag Football League rang in our Inaugural Season in September 2022, and we are excited for the 2023 Fall Season. We are among the first girls flag football programs in NJ and excited to bring this sport to our town. Interest in girls flag football is exploding worldwide, and it is being proposed as an Olympic sport for 2028. Nike and the NY Jets are sponsoring Girls High School Flag Football throughout NY and NJ, and in the Spring of 2023, Westfield High School Girls will be playing its inaugural season in the Big Central Conference!

Our Mission
Our mission is to empower girls to work together as a team in a fun and safe (non-contact) environment while developing a love of flag football. Our league supports positive values and promotes health, wellness, and self-esteem to inspire and motivate girls to succeed both on and off the field.

We are looking to grow Girls Flag Football in Westfield, provide athletic gear, training for coaches and team building activities. Our league will also promote personal health and continue to enhance the program and overall experience. In recognition of our important role in the community, we will be partnering with local charities that share our mission.

Volunteer, Donation and Sponsorship Opportunities
We have big plans and ideas for the upcoming Westfield PAL Girls Flag Football season and beyond, which can only be achieved through community support and involvement. Parent volunteers and coaches are the backbone of any youth sports program, and we are looking for moms, dads and teens to volunteer their time to help make the program a huge success. We would like to have at least one female coach on every team.

To further support our mission and enhance the program, we are seeking donations and sponsorships. If interested in volunteer, donation and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Kelly Hantman at [email protected]
