NGFFL
The ATXGFL is a member of the National Gay Flag Football League.
Created in 2002, the National Gay Flag Football League (NGFFL) is a 501(c)(3) sports organization that seeks to advance the positive, social, and athletic enjoyment of American Flag Football. Through our league, our events, and most importantly our members, we also seek to foster the self-respect of all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons and promote respect and understanding from the larger community.
While particular emphasis is placed on these specific goals, it is a fundamental principle of NGFFL that all activities, social and athletic, are conducted to be inclusive in nature and that no individual shall be excluded from participating on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability, physical challenge, HIV status, or gender identity.
Currently, over 200 teams in 22 leagues across the United States and Canada are members of NGFFL. Teams representing these leagues participate in the national tournament titled Gay Bowl, hosted in October every year in a different member city.
