​​

• Athletes leave the state for exposure and development

​​

• Lack of alignment between leagues, schools, and governing bodies

​​

• Limited education around flag football pathways and opportunities

​

• Misperception that leagues compete with, rather than support, school programs

​​

• Fragmented development ecosystem

​​​​​​

• No Olympic-aligned development infrastructure exists today
