In this episode of She Plays Flag, I sit down with Kelley Palfrey, assistant girls flag coach at East Paulding High School.

As a first-year coach in the sport, Kelley shares what it was like stepping into girls flag football, organizing tryouts, building team culture, and learning the game alongside her players. The conversation dives into player-led learning, early program challenges, developing confidence in female athletes, and how new coaches can approach the sport without needing years of flag experience beforehand.

This episode is a great listen for:

  • new girls flag football coaches
  • athletic directors considering starting programs
  • coaches transitioning from other sports
  • anyone interested in the growth of girls flag football

Topics include:

  • building a first-year program
  • conditioning and tryout structure
  • culture development
  • coaching while learning
  • empowering athletes
  • teaching beginners
