Candice Davis Price talks flag football and her connection to the NFL

Flag football is a sport that’s rapidly growing in popularity. Coach and athlete Candice Davis Price saw a need to create a league in Michigan among girls in particular. Davis Price told “Live in the D” she learned to love the game firsthand after playing flag football at this year’s Super Bowl. She went on to say this is an accessible sport, cleats aren’t needed, and you can play virtually anywhere. The NFL is partnering with Davis Price in her girl’s flag football initiative.

The future looks bright for flag football; It will be an Olympic sport in the 2028 games, and the NCAA is sanctioning it as well, which means scholarships will be available for students.

Davis Price’s organization, Wild Child Athletics, will host a girl’s flag football camp on October 5th at Belleville High School
