USA Football's Youth Coaching School, in partnership with NFL teams, is designed to prepare youth football coaches with the ability to teach the game of football and create a positive experience for their players, parents and assistant coaches.

The one-day school offers youth coaches the best techniques to communicate with players, coaches and parents, teach the fundamentals for every position, organize their season with practice planning, establish the best drills for individual, group and team periods and develop a better scheme for offense, defense and special teams.
