Coaches

Being a Coach

On behalf of the Mudsock Youth Football Board, we want to thank you for your commitment to teaching the great sport of football to the youth of our community. To ensure that all participants (players, coaches, and parents) have a rewarding and exciting experience, this section will provide coaches with a lot of the tools they will need to build and execute a consistent approach to coaching youth football. This includes but not limited to important, documents, upcoming dates, and coaching materials. The coaching materials will guide you on how to properly teach football’s fundamentals in every phase of the game and how to run the best drills for every segment of your practice – position, group, and team.

Coaching Applications

We need quality, motivated individuals to instruct and guide a team of youth players. Please consider being a head coach or assistant coach. Please mark your intent to coach on the online registration form at myathletics.com.

All Selected Coaches will need to complete a background check and take our league mandated USA Football training that includes concussion and abuse prevention.

Mandatory Tackle Coaches Clinic: Each coach MUST attend our coaches clinic to be considered for a head coaching position. We recommend designated assistant coaches attend as well.

In addition, all selected head coaches AND assistant coaches must attend the High School Clinic. Date and times will be posted on our website in June.
