note = "Funding Information: The other four programs (Kenilworth, Harrisburg, New Orleans, and Chicago) received significant financial support from schools and donations. The participant fees were minimal or nonexistent, which was important in a school-based context. The Kenilworth program relied heavily on a government grant to support all aspects of the program, and the school provided free practice fields (Interview with League Director). The Harrisburg program was supported by donors, including those donating their time and effort to administer the program and its teams, coach, and referee. The school provided the facilities at no cost, and equipment was donated by NFL Flag. The participants paid a small fee ($25), which covered the cost of insurance and jerseys. Other minor costs were absorbed by the champion and participants{\textquoteright} families. The New Orleans program was financially supported by the school district and its individual schools, which provided financial stability that the other programs lacked. The program was free to participants; they only needed to provide their own shorts and shoes. The school district provided the playing fields for free, and individual schools covered other costs. In addition, the program champion worked with strategic partners to garner donations to pay for the game facility, transportation, shirts, flags, and equipment (Interview with Program Director, Coach 3). It was even more important for the New Orleans program to be cost-free to participants, as the market served did not have the means to support the program or its participants. Finally, the Chicago program was fully supported by the school. It was considered a club, with all components available at the school, and competed with other school clubs, rather than other sports.
