The game is growing, and the Baltimore Ravens and Under Armour are helping lead the charge right here in Maryland. In a major push for girls' flag football, the partnership is expanding to include 27 new high schools, bringing the total number of participating programs across the state to an impressive 132.

This expansion, announced ahead of the 2026 season, marks the fourth consecutive year of growth for the initiative. The new additions include schools from Baltimore County and St. Mary’s County, significantly widening the sport's reach and moving it closer to the goal of becoming a state-sanctioned high school sport.

The commitment runs deep. The Ravens' total investment has now surpassed $1 million, providing crucial grant funding to help schools build sustainable teams. Meanwhile, Under Armour will continue its role as the uniform provider, ensuring these young athletes take the field looking and feeling their best. This support is about more than just equipment; it's about building the infrastructure for lasting opportunity.

Girls' flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and this local investment reflects that national momentum. By creating these pathways, the Ravens and Under Armour are ensuring that female student-athletes in Maryland have the chance to compete, develop skills, and be part of a team. It's a powerful play that extends far beyond the field, fostering community and championing the future of the game.
