On the ‘Chiefs Wire Podcast Interview Series’, we showcase new players, celebrities, and prominent NFL players with unique takes and stories about the Kansas City Chiefs.
Listen as Senior Writer Ed Easton Jr. speaks with Stephanie Kwok, the Vice President and head of Flag Football. She discusses the impact of the Chiefs and the rest of the league on the ongoing NFL FLAG In-School Program and the NFL FLAG Championships.
“I think it’s really to the culmination of a lot of the grassroots efforts that we’ve been seeing by all of the NFL clubs, by NFL itself, by all of the organizations in the community,” said Kwok, “just continuing to build flag football, continuing to build especially opportunities for girls to play in high school, for them to go then go on and play in college, so now you’re seeing that momentum. With over 30 states offering high school programs for girls, more than 100 colleges have either varsity or club teams. So that’s a snapshot of all the growth we saw in the U.S., not even mentioned globally.”
