EAGAN, Minn. & Fargo, N.D. – The Minnesota Vikings and Fargo Park District have announced a new girls’ flag football program in Fargo that will serve high schoolers in the Red River Valley.
The pilot program aligns with the Vikings ongoing efforts to grow girls flag football and empower young women through sports, while laying the groundwork for future expansions across Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
“This program represents an exciting step forward for girls’ athletics in our region,” Fargo Park District Executive Director Susan Faus said. “Partnering with the Minnesota Vikings allows us to provide a high-quality experience that emphasizes skill development, teamwork and confidence.”
“This program is an important step in expanding girls flag football throughout the region and building a foundation for future growth,” Vikings Vice President of Social Impact Brett Taber said.
The eight-week season includes weekly practices, six regular-season games, league playoffs and the opportunity to compete for a state championship. Games will be played on Sundays, with practices held one evening per week at the Fargo Parks Sports Center or Fargo-area schools.
Teams will have 10 players and up to eight teams will compete. Registration is $50 per athlete with scholarships available.
Fargo Parks is also looking for coaches.
