Board hears update on possibility of a JV flag football team; action depends on Section 9 participation
Summary
Coaches and student-athletes asked the district about creating a junior varsity flag football team; the superintendent reported the decision depends on participation across Section 9 and other districts' adoption of the sport.
Board members asked for an update on a proposal to add a JV flag football team for girls. The board heard that coach Kjellberg and a number of student-athletes raised the question of creating a JV team. District staff said the formation of a JV flag football team would depend on whether other schools in Section 9 field JV teams and on league-level decisions about scheduling and competition.
The district noted that flag football is currently under discussion across Section 9 and that the sport's status for the district would 'unfold as the year comes' and depend on other districts' participation. Officials said the sport is a spring activity and that the district would consider sponsoring a JV team if opponents and a viable schedule become available through the section.
