Steelers Girl's Flag All-Peer Team | Pittsburgh Steelers - Steelers.com
Strong relationships are important for everyone, but especially for young people. Student athletes have a unique opportunity to offer mentoring support to their peers to help them learn and grow - on AND off the field! The Pittsburgh Steelers and The Mentoring Partnership are teaming up with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Giant Eagle and Spread Group to build its inaugural Steelers Girls' Flag All-Peer Team featuring 7 high school girls' flag football players from around the region who go above and beyond in providing mentor-like support to their teammates.
