On Saturday, the National Football League’s Los Angeles Rams hosted their third annual Girls’ Flag Jamboree, presented by Bridgestone.
Nearly 130 high school teams and nearly 3,000 student-athletes descended up UCLA for an opportunity to showcase the incredible growth of high school girls’ flag football across Southern California.
The one-day event included jamboree-style games, tug-a-war tournaments, a Vendor Village and “Women in Business” panels. In the Vendor Village, athletes and families can interact, purchase food and merchandise and receive giveaways. Rams partners in attendance included Bridgestone and Invisalign. Participants also can visit the Rams Football Academy (RFA) booth, as well as activations from USA Football, NCAA, GameBreaker and more.
The Rams and Bridgestone believe increasing access to flag football helps develop transferrable life skills, strengthens character, and promotes health and wellness. Participation also enhances opportunities to further education and broaden perspectives, builds a sense of community, and creates more pathways for young women in sports and beyond.
Since the sanctioning of girls’ flag football as a high school sport in California in 2023, the Rams have impacted nearly 15,000 athletes and served more than 600 schools, contributing more than $1,000,000.
