Women’s Gridiron Foundation

Since 2003, the Women’s Gridiron Foundation has played a consistent role in the growth of football – both flag and tackle – for girls and women around the world.

In addition to maintaining a history of women’s football, we promote, collaborate, offer resources, mentorship and programming to both start up and established organizations. WGF advocates and supports closing the gender gap in sports - both on the field and in the C-Suites.

We believe in providing safe, fun, positive spaces in which girls of all ages can learn to play the great game of football and most importantly - develop essential life skills in the process.
