FSCC Women’s Flag Football Recruitment Begins

Leave a comment

Women’s Flag Football is coming to Fort Scott Community College.

“Flag football is an emerging sport which has gained popularity across the country in recent years,” Tom Havron, FSCC’s Athletic Director said.  “Many NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) schools in the region have started the programs, and FSCC is proud to be one of the founding members at the NJCAA level.”

“Flag football will be a female sport, consisting of 15-20 team  members,” he said. “We will have students at FSCC fall of 2022, but the inaugural season will be a spring sport starting in 2023.”

“Women’s Flag Football has been a growing commodity across the nation and FSCC intends to provide an opportunity for these student-athletes to continue their passion for the sport while pursuing their education at the collegiate level.”

“Similar to the Fort Scott youth flag football program, the FSCC team will feature women who play the game at a high level,” he said.

“FSCC is currently recruiting students to start competition in the fall of 2022,” Havron said.

“As flag football is an emerging sport, there are not many people who have much experience in the region,” Havron said.  “We have communicated with the area NAIA schools who have started the program in the past few years and hope to learn and grow with them.  FSCC was awarded a $10,000 grant from the NFL and NJCAA.  Part of this will be used to seek professional development activities for our coaching staff. ”

“We will practice on the FSCC campus at the turf field, and hope to play our games at Frary Field as well as other regional institutions,” he said.

“Work began on plans for the project in October of 2020 after we knew we received the Fort Scott Area Community Foundation grant,” Werling said. “Contacting and interviewing all of the various frontline worker’s staff began in January of 2021.”

“The Lowell Milken Center’s Fort Scott’s Frontline Heroes project highlights frontline professions within our community who have been directly dealing with pandemic issues in order to provide safe and direct action for our citizens,” according to the press release.

FSCC Gets Grant To Grow Women’s Flag Football Program

Leave a comment

Fort Scott Community College (FSCC) has received a $10,000 grant from the NJCAA Foundation, NFL FLAG, and RCX Sports to grow a women’s flag football program, starting in spring 2023.

 

“The NJCAA Foundation is passionate about the value women’s flag football brings to institutions’ overall growth, the student-athlete experience, and equality across playing fields,” stated Brian Luckett, NJCAA Foundation Executive Director. “This is an opportunity for women of the association to compete at the highest level and we are fortunate to work hand in hand with NFL FLAG and RCX Sports during this exciting time.”

 

In March, the NJCAA announced the $150,000 grant, provided by the NFL, to support the initiative of expanding women’s flag football. Since then, 11 grants have been awarded to NJCAA member colleges to grow the sport and encourage other two-year colleges to consider adding the program.

 

“RCX is dedicated to creating opportunities for all athletes to play and so that every child can gain important life skills only learned through sports,” said RCX Sports CEO and NFL FLAG Executive Director Izell Reese. “Through NJCAA women’s flag football, young women will not only be able to compete, they’ll earn a valuable education that will set them up for success after college.”

 

Women’s Flag Football has been a growing commodity across the nation and FSCC intends to provide an opportunity for these student-athletes to continue their passion for the sport while pursuing their education at the collegiate level.

 

“Fort Scott Community College strives to be a leader in the emerging sport world. Bringing women’s flag football to campus will provide a stellar opportunity for student-athletes to pursue their education.  We are excited to pave the path for the future of flag football within the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference,” says Tom Havron, Vice President of Student Affairs. “Within the next five years, we hope to see numerous Jayhawk schools add this emerging sport”.

 

Recruiting is underway for the inaugural class lead by head coach Aprell Williams. Students who have interest in being a part of the first flag football class at FSCC are encouraged to contact Coach Williams at [email protected].

 

“The NJCAA expanding NFL Flag opportunities for female student athletes at member institutions demonstrates clearly that football is for all,” said Executive Vice President of NFL Football Operations Troy Vincent, Sr. “The values, fun and competitive environment of football can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone who wishes to participate. It is exciting to see junior colleges offer NFL FLAG as a varsity sport to female athletes.”

FSCC tution stays the same

Leave a comment

Fort Scott Community College (FSCC) will NOT be increasing tuition for the 2021-2022 academic year. In fact, FSCC recently announced that general fees will be covered for fall 2021 through summer 2022.

Tuition at FSCC averages $62.00 a credit hour, making it one of most affordable options in the four-state area.

To make costs more affordable for future Greyhounds, FSCC will also be offering the Kansas Promise Scholarship starting fall 2021.

As stated earlier this month, the Kansas Promise Scholarship is a last-dollar scholarship and assists with costs that institutional or grant scholarships are unable to cover.

Recipients must meet all qualifications and complete the application process to be eligible for this opportunity. More information pertaining to this opportunity can be found at fortscott.edu/KansasPromise.

For more information on how to obtain a high quality education at a low cost, contact the Admissions Department at 620.223.2700 ext. 3520 or go to fortscott.edu/admissions.
