Founded in 1997 by Diane Beruldsen, the International Women’s Flag Football Association is an organization of and for women’s and girls’ flag football teams, leagues, and individual players from around the world. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for all females regardless of race, nationality, age, skill level, economic status or sexual orientation to enjoy healthy competition, have fun, and develop teamwork skills. Our goal is to educate and assist our players through our tournaments, clinics, and promotional tours while building self-esteem, confidence, and leadership skills. We are not just a sports organization. We are a women’s empowerment organization who uses flag football as the vehicle to bring equality to women around the world. As a membership-based association, we bring value to our members through our events, communications, news, and community culture.
