Rowan College of South Jersey will add a women's flag football team at its Gloucester County campus that is expected to begin competition next spring.

The team's launch will be financed in part by a $10,000 grant from the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Foundation, Reigning Champs Experiences (RCX), a national youth sport program and NFL Flag Football.

"As we continue to grow our athletic offerings," said Rowan's executive director of athletics Brian Rowan, "adding women's flag football is both an exciting and intentional step forward for our program. This new sport represents opportunity - opportunity for female athletes to compete at a high level and opportunity for our college to lead in an emerging space."

The team will begin the search for a head coach immediately and recruit heavily this spring, according to Rowan.

The protest in Gloucester County was sponsored by the United Progressive Democrats and was one of thousands that took place around the country on March 28.

More than 1,000 county residents from towns that included Mantua, Mullica Hill and Williamstown joined a No Kings protest on March 28 along Delsea and Dalton drives - on both sides of the streets - in Gloucester County.

The rally was sponsored by the United Progressive Democrats and was one of many that took place around the country at thousands of locations, drawing an estimated 8 million people to protest the administration of Donald Trump.

The county march in Glassboro was arranged by Rowan University professor Elizabeth Volz.

"Show them what democracy looks like!" Volz shouted into the megaphone she carried with her.

"This is what democracy looks like!" the crowd replied.
