Coaching youth football is fun, exciting, challenging, and an amazing experience.  Seeing the youth progress throughout the season as football players and individuals is the most rewarding element.  Volunteering to be a youth football coach comes with many important responsibilities. As a youth football coach, you are obligated to teach the youth proper and safe football play. You must understand as a youth football coach that a lot of kids will look up to you. Your players will be a direct reflection of how you coach them.  Coaches must realize there is more to youth football than just winning or losing.  Coaching is about practicing & teaching your players the traits that will be needed to be successful throughout their life.
