Herndon's Success Spotlight



 Herndon's Girls Flag Football Team

.

The Herndon Girls Flag Football team, pictured with Robyn Lady Vice Chair of the School Board, Dranesville District Representative, is one of 51 Virginia programs receiving support from the Washington Commanders, who have committed significant funding and equipment to grow the sport across the DMV region. As part of this major initiative, Herndon's team is helping to establish Girls Flag Football as an Emerging VHSL sport, giving young women a new athletic opportunity. The Commanders' investment provides Herndon and many other schools with custom Nike uniforms and NFL Flag Kits, enhancing the student-athletes' experience as they become trailblazers in the sport. The team will play the first of two games against South Lakes and Centreville on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at 6:00 and 7:15pm.
