Inside One of Georgia’s Top Girls Flag Programs with Coach Clark Nixon

In this episode, I sit down with Clark Nixon, head coach of the Milton High School girls flag football team in Georgia. Clark didn’t come from the flag world. He was a math teacher, basketball coach, and tennis coach who simply loved football and saw an opportunity to create something meaningful for girls in his school.Starting with just a handful of players and no prior flag experience, Clark and his staff built a program that now competes at the highest level in Georgia.We talk about what those early days really looked like: recruiting athletes, teaching football from scratch, navigating multi-sport participation, and building a culture that lasts beyond one season.Clark also shares what it means to coach a sport that is growing rapidly across the country, and why the girls playing today are truly trailblazers for the future of football.This conversation is a blueprint for coaches, athletic directors, and communities who are thinking about starting girls flag football programs of their own.
