With the 2025 Girls Flag Football Season now almost to the midway point in the Sunshine State, we are working harder than ever with our coverage of girls flag football with the growth of the sport that has been seen in the Sunshine State over the last few years. As such, one of those initiatives in ramping up our coverage of girls flag football is to provide Player of the Week polls in our new condensed model of eight regions we will be using going forward in our coverage of not only girls flag football but in tackle football as well.
As such, Week 3 is in the books and we have looked at all the scores and all the game results from Week 3 and have narrowed our list down from the schools that play flag football and have posted statistics on MaxPreps in each region and have selected five deserving athletes for our Southwest Florida Girls Flag Football Player of the Week for Week 3. We encourage coaches to post statistics in MaxPreps to have athletes considered for our Girls Flag Football Player of the Week polls or submit them to joshua.wilson@floridahsfootball.com and write “Statistics/Player of the Week Nominations” in the subject line.
Voting lasts until 11:59 p.m. ET/10:50 p.m. CT on Sunday, March 16 with the winner announced on Monday, March 17.
VOTING IS UNLIMITED!
EDITOR’S NOTE: This poll is meant to be fun and supportive, celebrating the hard work of the athletes. Please vote fairly and avoid using bots or automated systems. We reserve the right to discontinue the poll at any time if any issues arise. Let’s keep it about sportsmanship and recognition. Thanks for participating!
