Women's Flag Football Team Preps for Billings Showdown

Football is the most popular sport in Montana, which is not entirely shocking. It's been the most popular sport in the United States for decades. In recent years, the NFL has seen its fanbase become an almost 50/50 split of male and female fans, according to a February 2024 report by marketing firm Zeta.

Montana women love football... and they like to play too.

Montana women have been football fans long before the "Taylor Swift Effect", and they're not just watching it on Sunday. The Lady Montana Fierce Football program is a collective of Billings area women athletes ages 18 - 50 who play contact flag football.

Why does Montana Fierce Football sound familiar?

The Montana Fierce Sports umbrella includes a 5th and 6th-grade AAU tackle football program, designed to hone players in the Billings area. They debuted in 2019 and their first year they won the Hall of Fame Regional Game. According to their page,

MFS core values (Family, Integrity, Effort, Respect, Courage, and Excellence) are weaved into all aspects of the program and are reinforced as youth athletes develop into young adults.

Montana Fierce Sports staff is 100% operated by volunteers. If you or your child is interested in their youth football programs, find out more HERE.
