• Signing Up Coaches: 
  Finding qualified coaches is one of the most important things to do as an NFL FLAG league organizer.
  •In addition, all coaches must adhere to NFL FLAG guidelines: no verbal or physical abuse of players, and no extensive practices. Failure of your coaches to follow these policies may result in revocation of your NFL FLAG league.
  •A good NFL FLAG coach understands the principles of football, but also is experienced in teaching basic physical skills to young players. Participation by all players is part of NFL FLAG’s philosophy, so coaches must be able to make each player feel important and part of the team.
