This season, 32 schools were selected to receive support.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last year was a lot of learning the game, the plays, the logistics,&#8221; Our Lady of Mercy Modified Flag Football Head Coach Megan D&#8217;Angelo explained. &#8220;This year is a complete 360. They are more confident, motivated, excited, working harder and coming up with their own plays. They are understanding the game and excited to continue to grow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Buffalo Bills Modified Flag Football Kickoff is fantastic. Especially because there haven&#8217;t been opportunities like this for females in the sports world when it comes to football. This is a very empowering moment where they can come to a facility where actual NFL players practice and they get to envision a future where they play football at a high level as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year, 21 schools were selected across Section VI (Buffalo), Section V (Rochester) and Section III (Syracuse) as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,45631,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-621921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-news-announcements","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=621921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/621921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/621922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=621921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=621921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=621921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
