ROYERSFORD, Pa. (WPVI) -- We often hear about the rise of girls' flag football.

As more and more young women get a chance to throw the pig skin, we very rarely hear of a girl strapping on shoulder pads and a helmet.

Well, Addie Rosenbloom, a rising freshman at Spring-Ford Area High School is changing the game.

"I just wanna get better. I hate not being good at things," she says.

The focus on this day, and pretty much every day, is football. It's a novelty to most young girls, but to Addie, it's a way of life.

"A lot of people are like surprised or confused, I'm not playing like flag, but most people get used to it," she says.

They really have no choice but to get used to it. Addie has been playing football her whole life. Next year, she will play high school football at Spring Ford.
