EDUCATION FOR COACHES | FLAG COACH Certification
USA Football offers no cost flag football coaching education to all NFL FLAG coaches, which is the only flag football coaching certification certified by the National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE).
BACKGROUND CHECKS ON COACHES | Subsidized coach background checks
To encourage leagues to complete coaching background checks, USA Football subsidizes $5 of every NFL FLAG coach background check. The background checks system, run by the National Center for Safety Initiatives, reviews the national sex registry, along with national, state and county criminal checks.
GETTING YOUR CHILD INVOLVED
Signing the NFL FLAG online waiver
After you register with the league, we will ask you to sign the quick one minute online waiver before your child steps on the field. Once you submit the waiver, NFL FLAG will instantly cover your child with player's insurance coverage. In addition, NFL FLAG will immediately email you a free USA Football player and parent account (regularly $10). The account will provide you and your player all the tools and education they need for a better, safer game.
