FREMONT – Midland University has announced the addition of Women’s Flag Football to its athletic offerings beginning with the 2020-21 academic year.
Women’s Flag Football will be the 33rd varsity program offered by the university located in Fremont, Neb. Women’s flag football is on its way to becoming an official National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) varsity sport, thanks to a two-year partnership between the NAIA, the National Football League (NFL) and Reigning Champs Experiences (RCX).
Midland has experienced record growth over the last decade and is recognized as Nebraska’s fastest-growing college. The University also has the largest athletic department in the state. Students are drawn to the institution’s dynamic course and athletic offerings, scholarship opportunities, and inclusive community.
The first competitive season will be held in the spring of 2021 with an emerging sport or invitational championship in the spring of 2022 hosted by the NAIA. An emerging sport in the NAIA is defined as at least 15 participating institutions, while invitational can be defined as at least 25. A sport must have a minimum of 40 participating institutions to be considered for full championship status.
