We Run This House: The Girls' Guide to Flag Football is the go-to book for girls looking to fall in love with America’s favorite sport.

Flag football is one of the fastest growing sports today! There are 20 million players in 100 countries, and the number of girls playing in the US keeps rising thanks to club, high school, and college leagues operating in dozens of states. Plus, flag football is set to make its Olympic debut for both men and women at the 2028 games in Los Angeles.

Against this backdrop is AnnaSofia Dickens, a 15-year-old student athlete playing on the top-ranked girls' flag team in the nation. In this first-of-its-kind guide written for teen girls by a teen girl, AnnaSofia welcomes players to the game she loves, sharing helpful tips and relatable advice from her own experience alongside interviews with football greats like Diana Flores, Jared Goff, and Michael Strahan.

As AnnaSofia puts it, she was in the right place at the right time to get involved with flag. Now millions of young readers (and the people who love them) looking to do the same can benefit from this sensational book.

Let's hear it for females in flag!

As a wide receiver on the USA Football #1 ranked 15U women’s flag football team, Dickens’ dream is to compete at a D1 level and represent her country in the Olympics. She hopes to inspire girls from all over the world to play the game that she loves, and was excited to combine her passion of singing and songwriting with her sports.
