Does Wyoming require flag football headgear?
We found no statewide flag football headgear rule from the Wyoming High School Activities Association as of November 5, 2026. That means we checked and found none, not that headgear is banned. Check the WHSAA website for the current season, and ask your league, which can set its own rule.
The WHSAA does not sanction girls flag football. Its 2026-27 handbook lists the sports with approved contest rules, and flag football is not one of them.
What this means for Wyoming leagues
- No statewide rule applies, so your league decides. If you require headgear, name a minimum rating, such as Virginia Tech 4 or 5 stars, and put it in your rulebook.
- Follow Wyoming's youth concussion law: W.S. 21-3-110(a) and 21-2-202(a) (SF0038, 2011). Read the official text for who it covers and what it requires.
- Build your protocol from the youth flag football concussion protocol guide, and train coaches with CDC HEADS UP.
What this means for Wyoming parents
- Ask your league or school whether it requires headgear. If you buy it anyway, compare models in the Virginia Tech headgear ratings.
- No headgear prevents concussions. Learn what to do from the CDC HEADS UP page on responding to a concussion, and talk to your child's doctor about any head injury.
