FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - The Minnesota Vikings and the Fargo Park District are teaming up to bring girls flag football to the Fargo-Moorhead metro area.
The Vikings announced Monday they are partnering with the Fargo Park District to launch a girls flag football program for high schoolers in the region. The pilot program is open to young women in grades 9-12 from Fargo and West Fargo, North Dakota, as well as Moorhead, Minnesota, and nearby communities.
“This program is an important step in expanding girls flag football throughout the region and building a foundation for future growth,” said Brett Taber, Vikings vice president of social impact.
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.
“This program represents an exciting step forward for girls’ athletics in our region,” said Fargo Park District Executive Director Susan Faus. “Partnering with the Minnesota Vikings allows us to provide a high-quality experience that emphasizes skill development, teamwork and confidence.”
Teams require a minimum of 10 players, with capacity for up to eight teams. Registration is $50 per participant. Full-coverage scholarships are available for eligible athletes. Space is limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with a waitlist offered if capacity is reached.
The program aligns with the Vikings’ ongoing efforts to grow girls’ flag football and empower young women through sport, while laying the groundwork for future expansions across Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
