We Ball Too – flag football project logo

We Ball Too is an Erasmus+ Sport project (No. 101184656) that uses flag football to open sport to everyone – especially girls and young women. Flag football is the non-contact version of American football: a sport for people of all ages, genders, backgrounds and abilities, ideal for mixed-gender teams and part of the Olympic programme from Los Angeles 2028.

The project aims to promote youth and all-gender participation in sport, enhance the accessibility and social inclusion of young people and close the gender gap in sport. Over 24 months, partners from Slovakia, Czechia and Ukraine cooperate with schools, sports clubs and NGOs to create safe, inclusive and supportive sports environments where girls and boys play together with equal opportunities.

Thank you for the great opportunity to involve students in the competition, at this time when movement in the school environment is limited. Ensuring the entire course from the organization to the actual implementation was managed excellently. The Coach Team was helpful to us and the students really enjoyed it.  Thanks again.

The competition that the organization had planned was at a good level from the very beginning, as all the necessary questions were answered, I did not notice any problem.
