In partnership with the Atlanta Falcons,the foundation provides funding to help schools launch new girls flag football programs or strengthen existing ones.
Since 2022, St. Andrew’s has fielded a girls flag football team, and the program continues to grow in both skill and participation. The grant funds will be used to purchase new equipment to enhance training, support player development, and further elevate the team’s performance.
The team is led by St. Andrew’s faculty members David Nash and Kristin Peney, who have developed a five-year plan focused on building the program into one of the most competitive in the region.
“This group of girls playing flag football is incredible,” said Coach Nash. “Their empathy, positive attitude, and leadership have transformed the team from one of the youngest and most inexperienced in the league into a highly competitive program.”
Girls flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States and will be included in the 2028 Summer Olympics. “We are proud to support opportunities that empower our students to grow as athletes and leaders,” said Dr. Kelley Waldron, Head of School. “This grant strengthens our athletics program and reinforces our commitment to providing meaningful, confidence-building experiences for our students.”
St. Andrew’s is an International Baccalaureate World School inspiring young people age 3 through grade 12 in Savannah, Georgia.
Whether you’re looking for personalized one-on-one instruction or a small group setting, our experienced instructors are here to help every swimmer build confidence, improve technique, and reach their goals in the water.
