The National Football League’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers are taking the 2024 Florida high school girls’ flag football championships to another level. Earlier this week, the Buccaneers and the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) announced this year’s girls flag football season will culminate with the state championship games at the Bucs’ AdventHealth Training Center. The championships will be held May 10 and 11.
This year will mark the first time the Buccaneers host the state title matchups, having previously hosted a pair of regional playoff games in 2023. Built in a final four-style format, the two-day championship event will consist of semifinal and championship title games in 1A and 2A classifications. To qualify for their respective state championship games on Saturday, teams will compete in a semifinal matchup on Friday.
The event adds to the organization’s extensive involvement in the flag football landscape, with its Girls Flag Football Preseason Classic, presented by AdventHealth, serving as the largest girls flag football tournament in the country. Over 100 teams and 1,500 student-athletes took part in the four-day tournament played Wedneday through Saturday.
