GDW Analysis:
Flag football in the Alabama High School Athletic Association is set for its 5th year of existence.
At the present time, 113 schools across the state are involved in this sanctioned sport that plays in late August and ends with state championships in early December.
Sixty one schools make up the largest classification for the AHSAA, Class 6A & 7A.
Fifty two are entered in the 1A/5A division.
The total of 113 teams is the same as it was a year ago.
For North Alabama, schools taking part in flag football range from the Huntsville and Decatur areas for 6A & 7A.
 Playing in the 1A/5A division is limited with North Alabama programs.
 Lindsay Lane and Westminster Christian come from Huntsville while Tanner is the lone school from Limestone County and Boaz out of Marshall County.
 In neighboring Blount County, JB Pennington is the only school competing.
 At the present time, no program from the Cullman County school system, nor Cullman High School, Cullman Christian and St. Bernard Prep is involved in the newest sport the AHSAA has brought forward.
 Nothing has been reported to Gameday Weekly on whether local schools will see this sport to be a part of their future.
 Practice for flag football teams in the AHSAA can begin on August 4.
 The 2025 season will kick off the weekend of August 21.
 Playoffs will be held in November with the state championship scheduled for both classifications December 3.
