00:00It's a sport known for big plays, big personalities and big celebrations.
00:10And now the NFL's introductory game, flag football, is having a big impact on the next
00:16generation of sporting stars.
00:19It went from 10 schools to 84 schools in 10 months and we're now at just under 300 schools
00:24across the country and we expect that to grow pretty quickly.
00:27In a tough sporting market, flag football has been a huge success for both young boys
00:32and girls after launching in the curriculum in 2022.
00:36Who likes Taylor Swift and the Chiefs?
00:39Oh yeah!
00:40Oh yeah!
00:41It's football so it ain't too much difference.
00:44Just considering y'all play, I think it's rugby or AFL.
00:50The sport will be played in LA in 2028, but the NFL doesn't want it to be a flash in the
00:56pan.
00:57We actually have a very big vision at the moment to ensure that it does get into Brisbane.
01:02We want these kids to have a chance to play, potentially, for their country.
01:07The best of each state gathered on the Gold Coast, this group of talented Victorians will
01:12now get a chance to see the bright lights of the United States crowned national champions.
01:18They'll represent Australia at the International Championships at February's Pro Bowl Games
01:24in Orlando, Florida.
01:26Amazing!
01:27Every week these past three months has been hard work and our whole team deserves it.
01:33What are you going to tell them about Australia and how we play sport over here?
01:37We show no mercy.
