(Courtesy of BGFF) The Bergen County Girls Flag Football League (BGFF) kicked off its spring season this past Sunday at Johnson Park in Hackensack, setting a new record with 145 girls enrolled and participating in the opening day festivities.
The season began with a combine and skills clinic, featuring some of the best trainers and special guests. Once again, the team from TNT Training led the girls through drills, helping them sharpen their skills and deepen their understanding of the game.
Among the special guests was Allison Gandlin, the 2024 NFL Flag Player of the Year and a current Rutgers student. Allison’s journey is particularly inspiring to our community, as she has embraced a more observant Jewish lifestyle over the past year. Also in attendance was Josephine Wei, a USA Football National Champion, who energized the girls with her insights and experiences.
The event was filled with excitement, including giveaways and two special raffle prizes—a New York Jets football autographed by Sauce Gardner and a New York Giants helmet signed by Kayvon Thibodeaux.
It was a memorable day, and the girls are now eagerly anticipating their first games on April 6.
