And if you’re wondering just how good Team USA is…

🇺🇸 The U.S. Women are three-time defending World Champions and are going for FOUR STRAIGHT.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Men have won SIX of the last seven World Championships and are looking to add another one.

With flag football making its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, we’re getting a pretty good preview right now of what international flag football is going to look like on the Olympic stage.

If you have a daughter playing flag football right now, show her some of these games.

These are the women currently wearing USA across their chest, competing at the highest level in the world. And in less than two years, women’s and men’s flag football will be played for an Olympic gold medal for the first time.

That’s a pretty incredible thing for our young athletes to be able to see.

First tournament of the 2026-27 season!

Gold. 🥇

What a trip.

5-0. Five games. Five wins. 2026 15U AAU Junior Olympic Champions.

This team showed the entire country what Kansas City football looks like. Tough. Selfless. Relentless.

Every single girl on this roster made plays, trusted each other, and left absolutely everything on the field. This championship was a complete team effort from start to finish.

A special congratulations to our quarterback, Emeline, on being named Tournament MVP. An incredible honor. But the only way an individual earns an award like that is by having selfless teammates who put in relentless work every single day. This was earned by every girl wearing a Heat jersey.

To our families, coaches, and everyone who supported this journey, thank you.

Kansas City came to Des Moines… and left with the gold. 🥇🔥
