A New Girls Flag Football Recruiting Platform Is Replacing Stars With Diamonds

Girls’ flag football is exploding across the country. The athletes are getting faster, the competition is getting tougher and college opportunities are growing — but the recruiting system hasn't always grown with them.

H.E.R.S.365 wants to change that.

Filling a Recruiting Gap in Girls Flag Football

Built specifically for female athletes, H.E.R.S.365 gives girls a place to showcase verified stats, combine metrics, tournament results and highlight videos, earn national rankings and connect with college coaches — all from one profile.

And instead of measuring the nation's best female athletes with the traditional stars used in football recruiting?

They're earning diamonds.

“We're the first ever ranking system for girls,” H.E.R.S.365 co-founder Jonte Berry said. “And the difference between everybody else is, and the boys side, is they have stars, we have diamonds.”

Berry has even coined a phrase to go along with the platform's diamond theme:

Berry saw a need for the platform firsthand while coaching girls flag football.

“Well, as of right now, we all know that girl flag football is one of the fastest growing sports,” Berry said. “And what I saw was as I was coaching was there wasn't a proper way of girls getting filmed.”

Game film has long been a cornerstone of football recruiting, but girls entering a relatively new recruiting landscape haven't always had the same established system surrounding them.

Berry developed H.E.R.S.365 alongside Corey Liuget, a former NFL defensive lineman, H.E.R.S.365 co-founder and founder of She's a Baller (SIAB Flag).

“So I wanted to make a streamlined app with the help of Corey, and we did it together,” Berry said.

“H.E.R.S.365 - highlight, elevate rank and support - is the first ever social media recruiting network site for girls and coaches to be able to connect,” Berry added. “Girls are able to post their highlights, as well as upload their stats from either MaxPreps or their respective state as well as that being said, their combined metrics and tournament metrics all onto one platform.”

An athlete's profile can include her photo, height, statistics, metrics, video and tournament history, allowing coaches to see both her current performance and progression over time.

Putting a Ranking Behind the Resume

One of H.E.R.S.365's most distinctive features is its G5 ranking system.

The system factors in combine metrics, results from verified tournament networks, high school statistics and an athlete's résumé to help determine where she ranks among other players.

The platform also keeps parents involved in communication with college coaches, an especially important component when dealing with high school athletes.

“It benefits three people. It benefits the parent, the coach, but most importantly, it benefits the athlete,” Berry said.

H.E.R.S.365 Goes From the App to the Field

The platform was put into action this summer at She's a Baller, a girls’ flag football event held at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center.

Liuget said athletes traveled from Georgia, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Washington and California. While 140 girls competed in the tournament, more than 365 participated in a free combine where athletes could collect data and receive H.E.R.S.365 rankings.

College programs were also in attendance, and Liuget said more than 20 scholarships were handed out during the week.

For Liuget, bringing athletes and college coaches together is particularly important in a growing sport where recruiting budgets may not allow programs to scout players in every state.

“If we can give them a location and a place to meet annually every year. Let's check out some of the best talent,” Liuget said.

But H.E.R.S.365 is designed to make sure an athlete's recruiting exposure doesn't end when the tournament does. Her metrics, stats, video and event history remain part of her profile for coaches to find later.

From High School Fields to the Olympic Stage

The vision for H.E.R.S.365 also stretches beyond college recruiting.

With flag football headed to the Olympic stage in 2028, athletes can include their nationality and heritage alongside their statistics and combine metrics on H.E.R.S.365. Berry said the platform can then help get that information in front of international flag football organizations, potentially opening another path for athletes who are eligible to represent a country connected to their heritage.

“There's only 18 spots on the USA men's and the women's,” Berry said. “And being that there's 69,000 girls, they're not all going to fit on there.”

Berry said H.E.R.S.365 ultimately plans to expand into other girls sports, including golf, water polo and tennis. That could be particularly valuable for flag football players, many of whom compete in multiple sports.

Helping the Next Generation Shine

As girls flag football continues to grow, so does the need for recruiting tools that can help turn performance on the field into opportunities beyond it.

H.E.R.S.365 is betting that verified data, video, rankings and recruiting connections can help athletes get noticed — whether they're competing at a major showcase or playing hundreds of miles from the nearest college scout.

As the sport continues its climb from high school fields to college campuses and the Olympic stage, its recruiting infrastructure will need to grow right along with it.

The talent is already there. H.E.R.S.365 wants to give the next generation of female athletes more opportunities to be seen — and a place to shine.
