AAG Owned and Operated "Turkey Bowl" Supports "Girls First" Initiative
MESA, Ariz. , July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Arizona Athletic Grounds (AAG), America's premier youth sports and entertainment facility, proudly announces its inaugural "Turkey Bowl." The three-day girls flag football tournament will be held November 29th to December 1st at AAG's 280-acre grounds. The event is expected to draw more than 100 teams to Mesa, Arizona, from across the nation to compete in age-based divisions spanning 12U to 18U.
"With the explosion in popularity of flag football, and the sport's inclusion in the Olympics starting in 2028, what better way to continue building AAG's 'Girls First' platform than to create a flag tournament of our own," said AAG president, Meg Stevens. "We can't wait to welcome more than a thousand girls and their families for three days of fun and spirited competition across our world class facility and 24 fields."
The Turkey Bowl marks the latest milestone for AAG's trailblazing 'Girls First' initiative, its commitment to gender equity in sports through premium experiences and unique engagement opportunities for its female athlete community.
