TEXAS ELITE SPARTANS HOST “HER LEGACY GAME” - THE LARGEST GATHERING OF WOMEN’S TACKLE FOOTBALL IN TEXAS HISTORY

Final Regular Season Home Game Set for Saturday, May 9 at UT Arlington Maverick Stadium Against Kansas City Glory

ARLINGTON, TX (April 30, 2026) — The #1 Ranked Texas Elite Spartans will close out their 2026 regular season home schedule with a historic and culture-defining event on Saturday, May 9, as they host the Kansas City Glory in what is being called the “Her Legacy Game: Honoring Every Woman Who Built the Game.”

Positioned as the largest gathering of women’s tackle football players in Texas history, the Her Legacy Game will unite generations of athletes who helped build women’s tackle football,  from pioneers who played when there was no platform, to today’s elite professionals competing on the global stage.

A Historic Reunion of Women’s Football Legends

For the first time, legacy athletes from some of women’s football' s most influential early teams will be honored and in attendance, including:

• Houston Herricanes

• Dallas Bluebonnets

• OKC Dolls

These trailblazers laid the foundation for what is now one of the fastest-growing women’s professional sports leagues in the country.

“This game is about giving flowers to those who built the foundation,” said Odessa Jenkins, Founder the WNFC and Head Coach of the Texas Elite Spartans. “Every woman who steps on that field today is standing on the shoulders of those who played when there were no cameras, no sponsorships, and no guarantees of the other team showing up. This night is about legacy, and respect.”

The Her Legacy Game will bring together the full spectrum of women’s football, including:

• Past players and pioneers

• Current WNFC athletes

• Youth and varsity girls flag athletes

• Coaches and leaders shaping the next generation

With the Spartans continuing their dominant season and playoff positioning on the line, fans can expect high-level, physical football;  paired with an unmatched celebration of culture, history, and community.

Why This Matters Now

Women’s football is experiencing unprecedented growth, visibility, and investment. The Dallas based Spartans, a 5-time national champion franchise, are at the center of that movement,  consistently leading in attendance, digital engagement, and on-field performance.
