🏈 FOOTBALL IS FOR HER. 🏈
Maybe she’s fast. Maybe she’s strong. Maybe she’s never considered herself an athlete at all.
There is a place for her in football.
The Southeast Viragos are welcoming new players for both of our female tackle football programs:
🟢 Junior Viragos — Grades 5–8
🟢 Senior Viragos — Grades 8–12
One of the biggest things we hear is: “Football seems scary.” We understand. Trying any new sport can feel intimidating—especially one that many girls have grown up thinking was only for boys.
But female football is growing, and you don’t have to look a certain way or have a certain body type to belong on a football field.
Football needs speed, strength, size, quickness, toughness, intelligence, leadership and determination. Different positions require different abilities, which means every athlete can bring something valuable to the team.
Safety and proper technique are a major part of what we teach. Players learn how to wear their equipment correctly, how to block and tackle with proper technique, and how to play confidently within a structured, coached environment.
And NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. We will teach you the game.
What players gain goes far beyond football: confidence, friendships, leadership, discipline, resilience and the feeling of being part of a team that has your back.
Parents—if your daughter is curious but nervous, bring her out and let her try. She doesn’t have to decide that she’s a football player before she walks onto the field.
Sometimes she just needs the opportunity to discover that she can be one. 💚🖤
BE BOLD. BE BRAVE. BE A VIRAGO.
