COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Next week, a group of former women’s pro football players will host an all-girls flag football camp at John Venezia Park.
According to the High School Athletics Participation Survey, over 25,000 new girls signed up for high school flag football during the 2024-2025 school year, increasing the total number to over 68,000.
The group has hosted co-ed camps in Colorado Springs for over two decades, but it’s just the second year for the Girls Pro Flag Football camp. Professional women’s football players from the Denver Rush and the Rocky Mountain Thundercatz will coach the campers.
The camp is for girls between the ages of 9 and 18. It’s $150 for the three days: Monday, June 8, through Wednesday, June 10. The camp has full and partial scholarship applications based on financial need.
