No one has done this before

You'd be the first. Today.

Almost 100% of the athletes at college football camps are boys, because most girls and parents don't know these camps are open to them. The Lady Flag College Bus TOUR changes that.

We are the same founders and the same team behind The QB Mag TOUR, in business since 2022. In June 2027 two buses roll out together: one for the boys, and the first ever bus for girls. We travel together, stop at the same camps and get the same treatment. The girls will be the stars of the college camps.

  • The TOUR staff coaches and mentors between every stop.
  • Run with The QB Mag TOUR, which has been taking athletes on college bus routes since 2022.

The trailblazer

Meet Kennedy Ford

Kennedy rode The QB Mag TOUR as the first and only girl ever on the boys' bus. Clemson runs one of the five most popular college football camps in the country. About 1,000 athletes checked in, at every position. 999 were boys. One was a girl, and she was ours.

College coaches did a double take when she checked in, because a girl at a college football camp was unheard of. Kennedy was the pathfinder. Heads turned at every camp. She was mature and well respected, did every non-contact drill and every VIP classroom session with the coaches, and threw better than most of the boys. South Carolina almost offered her. The Trailblazers TOUR is how the next twenty girls follow her.

One girl out of 1,000. Next June, twenty more.

Why girls flag, why now

The fastest-growing sport in high school

Girls flag football passed 100,000 high school players in 2025–26, with more college programs, an NFL-backed pro league on the way and an Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028.

+48% in one year

Girls flag vs. boys football

1 girl : 15 boys
Girls flag: 68,847Boys tackle: 1,031,039

That gap is the opportunity. College programs are growing faster than the number of girls who know how to get recruited.

In the news

What they're saying

"The demand is there."

"Gives future generations of women a real reason to believe."

Ki'Lolo Westerlund, Alabama State flag football athlete, on the NCAA vote. NCAA.org, Jan 2026

"Captured the eyes of a lot of young athletes."

Who is eligible to go?

Girl quarterbacks in the classes of 2028 to 2031

202811th grade now
202910th grade now
20309th grade now
20318th grade now

Grades are as of fall 2026. For SAFETY, the 2027 TOUR is for quarterbacks only, and no highlight film is needed. Running backs, receivers, DBs and every other position can join our future positions list, and we will contact you first with an equal chance to apply. Because the trip is in June, athletes count one grade level higher for camps, so an 8th grader camps as a 9th grader. Class of 2032 and younger QBs are too young for college camps under NCAA rules, the same rules as the boys, so please join the future list. Every girl must bring one parent or guardian.

For parents

SAFETY is our number one priority

Until there are all-girls college camps, we give girls the real Division 1 camp experience, safely. The 2027 TOUR is instructional only. She learns from college coaches. She does not play live football.

A camp day, broken down

90% SHE TAKES PART
  • Warm-ups, check-in and registration~20%
  • Breaks and water~10%
  • Instructional QB drills and time with coaches~60%
  • One-on-onesThe last part of camp. Girls sit out.~10%

Per TOUR rules, she does not take part in the last ~10% of camp at all. That is the one-on-ones. She watches from the sideline with her parent.

She will

  • Check in and warm up with the camp
  • Do QB drills: footwork, throwing and reads
  • Pass-rush drills where a rusher only walks or jogs in, about 5 mph. No game situations, no contact
  • Meet and talk with college coaches
  • Join classroom sessions when the camp offers them
  • Tour campuses and ride the bus with her parent

She will not

  • One-on-ones
  • 7-on-7s
  • Any contact or live tackling drill. Our QBs are never hit
QBs onlyThe least physical position at camp
20 spotsOne bus, twenty girls
Parent at campA parent or guardian is required at every stop
WaiversParents sign waivers before she takes part

We do not promise any offers.

This is an exposure and experience camp. We do not promise scholarships, offers, roster spots or recruiting results. College coaches make their own decisions.

One bus. Limited seats.

Only 20 girls will ride

Each girl brings a parent, so 20 athletes fill 40 seats. Staff and the driver take the rest. Logistically we can't run more than one girls bus in 2027.

  • Flag athletes20
  • Parents, one per athlete20
  • TOUR staff8
  • Bus driver1

Demand is already building. We expect the second Lady Flag TOUR may need two buses.

About the TOUR

What a TOUR week looks like

Kennedy Ford talking with a UNC football coach at camp
UNC campKennedy talking with the coaches at UNC

Face time with college coaches

At every stop, athletes work out in front of college staffs and get the chance to talk with the coaches themselves. That conversation is what a highlight video can't do.

She can pick the coaches' brains and swap contacts, like X handles, since there are no rules against it. Michigan started a girls flag program in spring 2026, and more colleges will follow. Picture a girl QB meeting the UNC staff as an 8th or 9th grader. When that college opens an all-girls camp two years later, she already knows the coaches. That is what we strive for.

What is the TOUR

An exposure and experience camp

She is seen at college camps and learns what college is really like. Picture the University of Alabama: does a girl from California love it there, or not? Every stadium, dining hall and locker room helps her learn which campus fits her.

When

4 to 5 days in June 2027

The TOUR visits 4 to 5 Division 1 schools. Camp schedules are usually released in March or April. Keep June 1 to 16 open.

Routes

Same routes as The QB Mag TOUR

Stops target Division 1 programs in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, East and Midwest. Routes are finalized by April and depend on responses from college coaches.

Why recruit early

Coaches scout early

Coaches start watching as early as freshman year. Start a college portfolio now: a profile, highlight film and social media. This is an educational, leadership-based trip, not a vacation.

Tuition

One ticket for her, one for her parent

CharlotteKennedy and her dad

Every girl travels with her mom or dad

Parents ride the same bus, stay in the same hotel room as their daughter and stand on the sideline at every camp.

The boys' TOUR is $1,450 because boys sleep three to a room. On this TOUR each room is just two: one girl and her parent or guardian. The difference in price is only the hotel room.

FAQs

Questions parents ask

Who can join the TOUR?

Girl quarterbacks in the classes of 2028, 2029, 2030 and 2031. Class of 2032 and younger are too young under NCAA camp rules, so join the future list. She does not need to play tackle football. Every girl must travel with one parent or guardian.

Is it safe? Will she do contact drills?

SAFETY is our number one priority. The TOUR is instructional only. She takes part in about 90% of camp: warm-ups, QB drills and time with coaches. She does not do one-on-ones, 7-on-7s or any contact drill. Parents sign waivers before she takes part.

Why quarterbacks only?

For 2027 we chose the least physical position at camp, so every girl can safely do almost everything at camp. Kennedy Ford showed it works.

She plays another position. Can she go?

Not in 2027. Running backs, receivers, DBs and every other position can join our future positions list. We will contact you first, and she will have an equal chance to apply.

Will she get a college offer?

We do not promise any offers. This is an exposure and experience camp. College coaches make their own decisions.

When is the TOUR?

June 2027. Keep June 1 to 16 open. The final route is confirmed by late April 2027.

Where does the TOUR go?

The same routes as The QB Mag TOUR. Past stops include Clemson, UNC, Duke, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Alabama and Tennessee.

Why only 20 spots?

Each of the 20 girls brings a parent, which fills 40 seats. Eight TOUR staff and the driver fill the rest. We can only run one girls bus in 2027.

What is the TOUR tuition cost?

$1,750 per girl for the first 20 spots and $1,750 per parent. Tuition covers the private charter bus, hotel rooms, breakfast, snacks, airport pickup and TOUR gear.

It costs more than the boys' $1,450 TOUR because boys share rooms three to a room. Here each room is two: one girl and her parent or guardian.

Flights, lunch, dinner and college camp fees are not included. Camp fees usually run $50 to $95 per college and are paid directly to the colleges, not to our program.

How do payments work?

Once our coaches accept you, pay a $250 non-refundable deposit to guarantee your spot. The deposit is credited toward your 2027 tuition. If you drop out, it is not returned.

The other $1,500 is split into 4 monthly payments of $375 for the athlete, due January 1, February 1, March 1 and April 1, 2027. All payments must be made by April 30, 2027.

Why April 30? We book and pay deposits ahead of time for the private charter bus, hotels, coaches' flights and hotels, and custom TOUR swag for every girl. Questions? Email [email protected].

Do I need highlights to apply?

No. A Hudl or highlight link helps, but it is optional.

Who runs the TOUR?

Lady Flag Magazine, in partnership with The QB Mag TOUR (TheQBMagTOUR.com) and Quarterback Magazine. We are the same founders and staff as The QB Mag TOUR.

Does a parent have to come?

Yes. Every athlete must travel with one parent or legal guardian. That adult rides the bus, stays in the same hotel room and watches every camp. Only one adult travels with each athlete.

Where do we meet the bus?

The TOUR picks families up at the airport near the first stop. The pickup airport is shared once the 2027 route is final in late April.

Will she be the only girl at camp?

Most college camps are still almost all boys, which is why we built this TOUR. On the Lady Flag TOUR she arrives with 19 other girls.

What if the TOUR overlaps with school finals?

Tell her teachers early, classify the trip as an educational trip and ask about taking finals early.
