                               RESOLUTION


 
 Encouraging all public, private, and charter high schools, colleges, 
  and universities in the United States to establish and support flag 
          football programs for girls, and for other purposes.

Whereas flag football for girls is one of the fastest growing sports in the 
        United States;
Whereas flag football can help girls develop critical life skills such as 
        character, teamwork, resiliency, leadership, and confidence while also 
        providing beneficial physical activity;
Whereas flag football is a low-contact sport, with no height or weight 
        restrictions, that is open to girls of all skill levels, and is 
        affordable, accessible, and all-inclusive;
Whereas over 100 colleges have established varsity flag football programs for 
        women and girls; and
Whereas the expansion of high school and collegiate flag football programs for 
        girls would be beneficial not only to the girls and women joining such 
        programs, but also for towns, cities, counties, States and communities 
        throughout the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives encourages all public, 
private, and charter high schools, colleges, and universities to 
establish and support flag football programs for girls and women to 
expand upon existing endeavors and opportunities.
                                 <all>
