What makes Panthers Youth Football different?
Our coaches are USA Football trained and certified through Pop-Warner and USA Football. All coaches are volunteers and do not get paid.
We go to great lengths to seek volunteers that align with our core values and overall mission. We believe tackle football is a long game and that the emphasis should focused on teaching the fundamentals of the game with one main goal, provide the best service and experience possible so each play deepens their love of the greatest game on earth and returns the next year and the year after that. We want every kid that we have the honor of coaching, to have the opportunity to play high school football.
We play in the Pop Warner First Coast Conference. Pop Warner has been around for nearly 100 years and focuses on developing life-long values of teamwork, sportsmanship and a superior work ethic on the playing field and in the classroom.
All players will get a minimum number of plays in each game, and have the ability to compete for specific positions and additional playing time by their effort, attitude, and performance in practice.
