USA Football and Pittsburgh Steelers Team Up for Youth
Coaching School The Pittsburgh
Steelers and USA Football, the National Governing Body leading the development
and growth of youth, high school and international amateur football, are teaming
up to host a coaching school for youth football coaches in the Pittsburgh
metropolitan area. The one-day clinic is
set for Saturday, May 17 (8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.) at the Steelers Training Facility
(UPMC Sports Complex) in Pittsburgh, and is designed to prepare youth football
coaches with the ability to teach the game of football and create a positive
experience for their players, parents and assistant
coaches. This spring and
summer USA Football are partnering with NFL teams and colleges to host youth
football coaching clinics across the country. The clinics will teach each youth coach
effective ways to develop and organize their team, teach the proper
fundamentals, implement drills and communicate with players, parents and other
coaches. Successful high
school and youth coaches from the area will act as clinicians following USA
Football’s youth coaching principles, which focus on coaching theory, along with
developing a scheme for offense, defense and special teams.
Registration is $35
if registered by May 15 and includes lunch, a USA Football t-shirt and hat, gift
bag and certificate of completion. Due to space limitations, no walk-ups will be
allowed. Endowed by the NFL
and NFL Players Association in 2002, USA Football helps football organizations
keep the sport fun, safe and accessible by offering innovative resources focused
on coaching education, league enhancement, officiating development, and health
& safety awareness. The
organization also serves as the designated United States representative to the
International Federation of American Football (IFAF). Click here to
