This year’s tournament was more than just a competition—it celebrated community, athleticism, and opportunity. Hosted at the Sunshine Coast Sports Precinct, the event brought together schools from across South Queensland, with the ultimate prize being a spot at the 2025 NFL Flag National Championships on the Gold Coast. The national champions will represent Team Australia at the NFL Flag International Championships in Canton, Ohio, USA. An opportunity to participate in a Flag Football Gala Day will take place to conclude the program program, subject to the ability to form teams from within the squad.

It is our duty of care to ensure all participants are effectively able to participate. When registering yourself/your child for Active In Ryde Programs you will be asked to provide any relevant information that will affect your child/rens participation.

Where possible all Active In Ryde programs will be held in accessible venues and locations.

The sport has been added to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and the NFL hopes it will be included in Brisbane 2032. Join us for a personal tour to see why many families have already chosen Suncoast Christian College for their child’s education.

• “We don’t believe that they’re just going to step on the field and be part of the Olympic team just because of their name, right?” Doucette said.
• Suncoast Christian College took to the field in the inaugural NFL Flag Under 15 QLD South State Championships, held at the Sunshine Coast Stadium.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) routinely considers adding provisional sports to the traditional slate of Olympic events through local host committees. On the other hand, break dancing — the subject of much discussion during the Paris Games — did not make the cut for 2028. Flag football is enjoying massive growth in the United States and around the world, with its inclusion in the 2028 Summer Olympics potentially taking the sport to unprecedented heights. While the final results are still being tallied, the experience alone has been a win for our college. We’re excited about the future of the NFL Flag in Australia and the opportunities it presents for our students. This goes beyond sports, opening doors to leadership, travel, and cultural exchange.

“It’s an incredible honor for any athlete to represent their country in the Olympics, which is the pinnacle of global sport,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a league statement. It surprised me that the IFAF didn’t stipulate that every national team must include at least one established flag football player, which would’ve benefited everyone and allowed for the sport’s continued growth. The push has been turbocharged by significant support from the NFL, which sees flag football as key to its growth at home and abroad. That’s why NFL players will be eligible to participate on Olympic teams at the Games in Los Angeles, following a unanimous vote of approval by the owners at the spring league meeting. They will acknowledge, coach and make calls according to your level of experience playing the game. Urban Rec leagues expect a certain level of self-officiation, meaning that players are expected to display good sportsmanship to govern their behaviour.
