No prior coaching experience necessary! As an NFL Flag Football Coach, you will be given all the resources and support you need to help you succeed.

If you have a couple of extra hours to coach, we would love to have you on our team. The sign-up process is simple. There are two ways to sign up as a volunteer this season. Simply click SIGN UP below if you are ready to register as a volunteer for the current season's registration or you can sign up as a volunteer while registering your child.

During your child's registration, you will be asked if you would like to volunteer as a head coach or assistant coach.
At that time, if you select you do want to be a volunteer, you will be asked some personal info that will enable us to complete a BACKROUND CHECK. Volunteers will also need to accept our COACHES CODE OF CONDUCT to complete the registration.

Once the background check is cleared, you will be eligible to volunteer and will be contacted prior to the beginning of the season to confirm your position.  A separate email will provide you with details for the coaches meeting. 

Volunteers are asked to complete a CONCUSSION CERTIFICATION to coach in our program. Every coach must understand the dangers and warning signs of concussions. Therefore, it is required to that you take and pass the Concussion Training which is based on the CDC Heads Up Concussion test. It's a 30 minute video with a quiz at the end of each chapter. To take this test, you must be registered to coach in our program. Once the test is completed, your volunteer profile will automatically update, and you will be one step closer to being a NFL Flag New Port Richey Football Volunteer.
