The CDS Flag Football team attended the 2023 Bucs Media Night. This gave the team the opportunity to meet many different people who are involved with flag football and the NFL. They listened to a variety of speeches from Mayor Jane Castor, Darcie Glazier Kassawitz, Sam Rapoport, Larry Foote, and Maral Javadifar. These individuals held a panel where they talked about many opportunities for women in sports.

This experience was a good opportunity to promote girls flag football and generate an interest for girls to play the sport. The overall experience was very exciting for girls to learn about the journey to be involved in the NFL and possibly have a job in sports. With the team having their preseason tournament coming up, they’re practicing every day to be the best they can be this season. Their first game will take place at the Advent Health Training Center (formerly One Buc Place) on Feb. 21, 2023.
