The rollout, however, was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. "One of our main priorities at the Vikings is to grow football participation, and it was time to get girls involved, too, and not just focusing on growing boys tackle football," Cortese said. "Our long-term goal is to have girls flag football sanctioned at the high school level, but that takes a lot of work and a lot of support from our communities, so starting in middle school is kind of a pipeline to eventually get to the high schools."
With that in mind, Frelund slotted the Vikings in the 10th spot, just behind the Saints at No. Frelund wrote: One of my favorite prognostications right now is that the Vikings are going to the playoffs. I think the last NFC Wild Card slot could come down to the Vikes and Saints, who play in London on Oct. 2.
Clemens explained the goal of introducing youth across the state to the Vikings early to hopefully add more fans to the fold. "We don't want to [assume that] each child from Minnesota is going to choose the Vikings," Clemens said, "but we hope that by providing these fun opportunities for them to engage with the organization, we hope to have long-term Vikings fans who maybe otherwise wouldn't have been."
