DEVELOPING BETTER ATHLETES

We believe that every youth football coach should be certified before stepping on a field to best teach and develop your child. That’s why 100% of our coaches are certified through USA Football. Learn more about USA Football Youth Coach Certifications at usafootball.com/certification.

Having our coaches complete this nationally accredited certification ensures that they have the right knowledge, teaching methods and resources to develop the whole athlete based on their age and stage of development.

USA Football’s 2020 Youth Coach Certification includes:

  • Football Development Model Age-Appropriate Courses
  • Health & Safety: Head, Heart, Heat
  • Anti-Abuse & Coaching 101
  • Contact Courses in Blocking, Defeating Blocks & Proper Shoulder Tackling

WHY IS CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT

“The biggest thing for me, the impact of USA Football on the youth level, is allowing parents to say, ‘You know what? My children are being taught by someone who knows what they are doing.’ The coach has been certified. He knows how to teach the game, so the kids can play the game the right way — a safer way.”
