GirlPower Flag Football adds year-round girls league in Midland

GirlPower Flag Football has brought fall, winter and spring girls leagues to Beal Park, giving Midland families a year-round option for K-through-12 players who want organized football without waiting on school seasons or driving out of town. The move gives the city a steadier path for participation and retention, with a structure built to keep girls in the sport from elementary school through high school.

GirlPower’s West Texas program lists divisions from kindergarten through 12th grade, and the league says its mission is to make sure girls play and have fun while learning football in a positive, enthusiastic, encouraging environment. Every team receives NFL-branded jerseys and equipment, a detail that gives the league a more polished look than a loose pickup setup and signals a more serious development pathway for players who want to stay in the game.

The new Midland presence fits into a broader rollout across West Texas and into GirlPower’s larger multi-state footprint. It also arrives in a city where youth football access already includes coed and girls-only options through local leagues, including the Midland Rec Division, the Permian Basin youth football league, and nearby listings in the NFL Play Football locator. GirlPower’s arrival adds another girls-only lane, one built around repeat seasons instead of a one-time clinic or short pilot.

Beal Park gives the league a high-visibility home. City materials say the park is being transformed into a major recreation hub, anchored in part by the Exxon Mobil Soccer Complex. When completed, the site is expected to offer one of the premier soccer facilities in the region along with the other amenities Midland residents already associate with the park.

A city update from September 2025 laid out Beal Park Phase 3 with design scheduled from summer 2026 through the end of 2026 and construction completion targeted for the end of 2027. That timeline puts girls flag football in the middle of a park buildout that is still growing, with space for more youth sports use as the area develops.
