Meet Our Coaches
Our coaches are dedicated professionals.
At our Youth Flag Football League, our coaches are more than instructors—they are mentors, role models, and leaders who truly care about the growth and well-being of every player. Each coach is committed to creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can learn the game, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills.
All of our coaches are certified through USA Football, ensuring they are trained in proper techniques, age-appropriate coaching methods, player safety, and positive coaching strategies.
Player safety is one of our top priorities. That’s why there is always a Certified EMT and an Athletic Trainer on hand during practices and games to provide immediate, professional care when needed.
To ensure fairness and positive competition, each game is officiated by a non-biased referee who is trained to uphold league rules and maintain a safe, respectful environment for all players.
Our coaching team is dedicated to:
-
Teaching solid fundamentals and game knowledge
-
Encouraging teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship
-
Building confidence and leadership skills
-
Creating an enjoyable and supportive experience for all participants
Every coach also completes required annual safety training and must pass a mandatory background check before working with our athletes.
