Teams from across New York and New Jersey gathered at MetLife Stadium today for the third annual High School Girls Flag Football Media Day.

The New York Jets and Nike event, supported by Gatorade, draws students from more than 100 high schools across eight athletic conferences—an additional 25 schools compared to last year.

Players can capture video and photo content to showcase their schools for the upcoming flag football season.

The Jets was the first NFL team to begin a varsity girl's flag football league back in 2012, supporting nearly 260 schools in the tri-state area.
