Interest in both sports from both current and prospective students is incredibly high, Athletic Director John Dempster said.
JENKINTOWN – Manor College will debut Women’s Flag Football and Men’s Volleyball for the 2025-26 school year, the institution announced. Both sports are expected to play their first home games on campus in 2026.
“I am excited to launch these new sports here at Manor College,” John Dempster, Manor College Athletic Director, said. “Women’s Flag Football, in particular, is getting extremely popular and I want Manor College to be a trailblazer for this sport in our area.”
Women’s Flag Football is an emerging sport locally, Dempster said. The PIAA sanctioned the sport for the Spring 2025 season and roughly 1,600 players are members of 65 teams across eastern Pennsylvania, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
On the collegiate level, the Atlantic East Conference, which includes teams from Eastern University, Holy Family University and Neumann University, announced their recognition of women’s flag football as an NCAA sport.
An announcement on a head coach is expected in the near future. Dempster expects the team to field a roster between 10 and 20 players.
The institution already has interest from students already enrolled at Manor. Tori Simmons, a freshman at Manor College studying Veterinary Technology, played flag football for two years while attending Cheltenham High School.
“Girls I played with in high school were familiar with football and it made them want to come out and play,” said Simmons, who currently plays on the women’s basketball team at Manor. “There’s a strong community you gain from playing football. I’m excited to play again at Manor.”
Simmons, who played wide receiver at Cheltenham, plans to play for the Blue Jays next Spring.
Men’s Volleyball
The Blue Jays begin their first Men’s Volleyball season in Spring of 2026. A coach has not yet been named.
Men’s Volleyball has been an official sport sponsored by the NCAA since 2018, and the NJCAA region 19 features eight teams. While Manor College is a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA), the team would begin as an independent. A proposal to the Eastern States Athletic Conference, of which Manor College is a founding member, is expected in the near future.
The Blue Jays have been home to a Women’s Volleyball team for several decades, most recently competing in the ESAC and USCAA. A unisex volleyball club featuring informal games on campus helped to fuel interest in a men’s team.
The sport continues to grow as well on the high school level, with the top 25 teams from PIAA Division 1 Boys Volleyball hailing from Bucks and Montgomery County.
“With our current student body and new recruits coming in, we are hoping to be competitive in Men’s Volleyball from the beginning,” Dempster said.

Milford student speaks out after friend is detained by ICE agents two days before high school graduation
Four Milford High School students were on their way to volleyball practice on Saturday when one of them was taken into custody by ICE agents.

Four Milford High School students were on their way to volleyball practice on Saturday when one of them was taken into custody by ICE agents.
WBZ-TV spoke to one of the students in the car, who is also undocumented. He asked to remain anonymous.
The student said that they were heading to practice when three unmarked vehicles pulled up behind the car. The agents interrogated them about their documentation before taking the 18-year-old driver into custody. The student said he was not taken into custody by ICE because he is underage.
Student describes ICE arrest
“An ice officer had stepped out of his vehicle, walked over to us, and knocked on the window. And they asked him what his documentation was,” the student continued. “That’s kind of when emotion hit, and I began crying. No facial expressions, just tears started coming down my eyes.”
The student said that his friend, the driver, had been in the country since he was a young child. He said that they weren’t doing anything wrong to warrant being pulled over.
“I didn’t see him run a red light, or I didn’t see him do anything that was necessarily illegal. We were just on our way.”
The group of students is set to graduate on Sunday. The student WBZ-TV spoke to says that he feels afraid that everything he and his friend had worked for is in jeopardy.
“I always knew that this was a system where it could get people who were undocumented and committed bad things, but now it’s turning into a system that just kicks everybody out based on your status,” he said.
The 18-year-old who was detained is also a member of the school band, who was set to play at the graduation ceremony.
Town responds to student being arrested by ICE
Milford Public Schools said ICE had detained several parents of students in recent weeks.
“We are all distraught by this news,” Superintendent of Milford Public Schools Kevin McIntyre said in a statement.
“The Milford Public Schools play no part in immigration enforcement and support all of our students and families, including those who are immigrants to the United States. They are members of the community, students in our classrooms, athletes that compete representing Milford, musicians, artists, friends, and neighbors.”
Milford Police say they were not informed that ICE would be conducting this operation.
The town is outraged and terrified by the string of ICE arrests hitting Massachusetts and their own residents. A protest is planned for Sunday after the Milford High School graduation.
