A new era of athletics is coming to Sarasota County Schools!

Beginning in spring 2027, Girls Flag Football will be offered at all traditional Sarasota County public high schools and will compete through the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA).

This exciting expansion creates even more opportunities for student-athletes to compete, develop leadership skills, and represent their schools on the field.

See you on the field!
