Coach Heise:

I hope you have enjoyed a great Christmas and New Year with friends and family.

Erskine College is sponsoring Women's Flag Football starting next academic year. Our conference will be the only NCAA conference to sponsor the sport, and we will be the only NCAA school in the state of SC to have a program.

While I know that the SCHSL does not sponsor girl's flag football, we are wanting to generate interest in our new program within the state. In other states, we have seen that typically flag football players originate from other sports (mostly soccer, track, basketball, and lacrosse).

If you or any of your girls' coaches have any athletes that might be interested in pursuing flag football at the college level, please feel free to send me their information or have them contact me directly. They can also use the prospective student athlete form linked below and choosing women's flag football.

We would love to build this new program with young ladies from South Carolina.

Thanks in advance for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
