The recent vote by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic  Association (MIAA) to “deny” Girls High School Flag Football as a state-sanctioned sport during the Spring 2025 Season, is a disappointing setback for women’s sports and a disservice to the next generation of female athletes. By signing this petition, you are sending a message to urge the MIAA to reconsider their denial. Let’s work together to close the gap on gender equity in athletics as there is a clear demand for this sport in our high schools.
