Flag football participation is on the rise around the world! USA Football, the national governing body of the sport, is looking for best athletes to represent the United States in international championship competition. Junior athletes (17 years or younger on 12/31/24) submit your information to become part of the athlete pool eligible for selection for the boys and girls Junior National Teams.
Junior athletes who complete the full USA Football Digital Combine through GMTM will be included in the pool of athletes considered for invitations to the 2024 U.S. Flag Football National Team Trials. The Boys’ and Girls’ 15U and 17U National Teams will compete against international opponents in the annual Junior International Cup.
The Digital Combine is a pillar of USA Football’s talent evaluation process. Select athletes will advance to the roster selection stage by receiving invitations to U.S. National Team Trials. During the Trials, U.S. National Team personnel will evaluate the athletes for roster positions on the 15U and 17U National Teams.
Previous flag football experience is not required for this process. Let's see if you have what it takes to join a Junior National Team and submit your info today!
