OVERVIEW

THE BASICS

Teams in our leagues are coached by volunteer parents. Play Flag Football provides all of the necessary training and equipment. While a lot of our coaches have previous experience coaching flag football, we have many first-time coaches, and we are experienced in providing everything you need to have a fun and successful season.

Before each season, we hold a series of on-line coaches meetings, where we go over the basics of being a Play Flag Football coach. We also provide a Q&A period at these meetings. In addition, we have a number of individuals on our staff who have coached multiple years in the league, and are available as resources for you.

The commitment is limited to a few hours each Sunday.

REQUIREMENTS

All Play Flag Football coaches must pass a criminal background check, and must agree to abide by the Coach's Code of Conduct.
