Tricks, Treats & Touchdowns: The IWFFA Samhain Special
Light the jack-o'-lanterns and lock the doors, because the IWFFA Podcast is going full spooky season! This month Raina hosts our Samhain Special, and there's plenty in the cauldron.
We start by going back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. It marked the end of the harvest and a night when people believed the line between the living and the dead grew thin. Raina explains how bonfires, costumes and old traditions slowly turned into the candy-filled Halloween we celebrate today.
Next comes movie night. Raina counts down her favorite scary movies of all time and shares fun behind-the-scenes facts you probably didn't know. Keep the popcorn close and the lights on.
Then we get back on the field with a recap of last month's P-Town Classic, along with exclusive interviews recorded at the tournament. You'll hear from the players and coaches who made it such a memorable weekend.
From there, She also takes a first look at Flag50, a new phone app built to help run teams and tournaments. It handles everything from managing rosters to organizing schedules and could make life a lot easier for coaches, captains and league organizers.
Finally, Raina tackles one of the biggest questions facing the sport right now. With different organizations playing 5v5, 6v6 and 7v7 under their own sets of rules, is flag football becoming fragmented? Does that variety help the game grow, or is it leaving players, coaches and referees confused as they move from one league to the next?
Whether you're here for the history, the horror or the football, this episode has something for you. Subscribe, share it with your team and tell us your favorite scary movie!

Beyond the Game: The Untold Side of Women's Flag Football
Welcome to the September edition of On the Air with the IWFFA, hosted by Raina.
This month, we're having a different kind of conversation about women's flag football. As the sport continues to grow and attract more attention, what is the real experience for the women who play it?
Host Raina explores the real cost of playing competitive flag football, from travel, tournament fees and time away from work to the physical and personal sacrifices players make to stay in the game. We'll also ask an important question: as women's flag football gets bigger, what could be lost along the way, including the community, independence and traditions that helped build the sport?
We'll also preview the upcoming IWFFA Ptown Classic in Provincetown, Massachusetts, Sept 18-21,2026 bringing together women from different backgrounds and generations for competition, community and connection.
Plus, we'll discuss Nassima Jaghar's powerful article, "When Survival Becomes the Default," and explore the connection between the challenges women face in everyday life and the role sports, connection and community can play in helping women reclaim strength and purpose.
This September, On the Air with the IWFFA goes beyond the headlines to talk about the people, sacrifices, struggles and community behind women's flag football.
