Since its inception in 1997 the International Women’s Flag Football Association has sponsored hundreds of groups and teams around the world.
To raise funds to support teams, the IWFFA founded in 2009 its “Team Owner” program. Local businesses are invited to sponsor a team and become an official “Team Owner”
The program is very affordable and once initiated into our “Winners Circle” a Team Owner becomes a member for life. These Team Owners help support not only their local teams and players, but allow the IWFFA to further assist other groups in other areas.
If you would like to become a team owner, please email iwffa@iwffa.com.
Special thanks to Monroe County Schools. Each year the IWFFA invites every school in Monroe County of the Florida Keys to enter a team of girls to represent their school in our Kelly McGillis Classic tournaments for FREE. Equipment, uniform shirts, registration, membership, and coaches are provided to each school.
It is a phenomenal program which costs parents and schools nothing and develops great female flag football athletes in the Florida Keys.
To afford the program, we seek local businesses and groups to sponsor a team and in exchange they become a “Team Owner”

Our Monroe County schools girls flag football
program was initiated in 2009 and supported by then Monroe County school
Superintendent: Randy Acevedo. Today the program continues to receive support
from Monroe County Schools and current School Superintendent: Theresa Axford.
The girl’s division has since grown exponentially since its beginning in 1999
and the IWFFA was not able to afford all its girls’ teams. The “Team Owner”
program opened the doors for all girls in the Florida Keys to play flag
football for free by offering the opportunity to all schools in Monroe county
to enter a team of girls to represent their school in the Kelly McGillis
Classic tournament at no cost to the school or the players parents. What a
wonderful opportunity to support the schools, parents and help to develop such
fine female athletes. Schools from Key West to as far as Key Largo who will be
competing in this year’s tournament.
Each fall season, the IWFFA contacts local
schools asking if they would like to participate in the girl’s flag football
program. We then travel to the schools, offer flag football to the girls, and
start up the school girls flag football team. We continue to coach the girls
and juniors to get ready for the Kelly McGillis Classic Tournament and promote
good quality flag football, teaching our young athletes to understand the game,
strategy and mechanics.
For us winning is not emphasized, but rather
camaraderie, understanding the game, overcoming the challenging skills on the
field, building leaders and having fun. It’s a great program.
Special thanks to our Team
Owners
To afford the school-flag football program, we
sought “Team Owners” who would help to financially fund and become directly
involved with their team. We are grateful to each group and business who are
local “mom and pop” businesses who cared for the girls and wanted to see them
succeed and represent their schools. Each business will soon join our “Winners
Circle” officially at the girls’ awards ceremony.
Their name plates are
displayed in our Monroe County Schools on our “Winners Circle” plaque
