Although Alaska officially sanctioned girls flag football as a high school sport just two years ago, the game has been a part of the state's athletic landscape for two decades.
The Anchorage School District introduced flag football in 2005 to help address Title IX gender-equity compliance. Since then, the sport has grown into one of the state's most competitive fall offerings.
