At Coeur d'Alene Jr Tackle Football,
we require annual completion of the Heads Up Youth Football Certification for ALL Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and ANY person helping to instruct drills on the field with our players.
If you have any questions, please contact our board.
Here is why you should be confident in our status as an official USA Football Heads Up affiliate league.
-FUNDAMENTALS – ALL BASES ARE COVERED
We teach the age-appropriate tackling and blocking
methods from USA Football’s Heads Up Football
curriculum. We stress the importance of developing
fundamentals based on appropriate player progression
in skills and drills.
-COACHING CERTIFICATION = YOUR PEACE OF MIND
In order to be a Heads Up Football league all of our
coaches must be certified. USA Football’s certification
curriculum is created by the nation’s leading football
and medical experts, making it the most in-depth
player-safety program of its kind in the nation.
-HEALTH & SAFETY – WE HAVE THAT COVERED TOO
From concussion recognition and response, heat
preparedness and hydration to sudden cardiac, our
coaches have taken comprehensive health and safety
courses to help protect your player on and off the field.
-EXPERTS ON THE RIGHT FIT
Did you know that improperly fitted equipment can
increase the risk of injury to players? As a part of our
Heads Up Football training, we are trained on the proper
way to size and fit helmets and shoulder pads for all of
our players.
-PUTTING SAFETY FIRST IN EVERYTHING WE DO
The health and safety of every player on our team is
our priority. From coach development to implementing
proper practice guidelines, skills and drills and more,
each of our efforts has a central focus on your player’s
safety and making the experience better from practice
to games.
