League Philosophy
Our leagues were built with the goal of creating a positive sports experience for all participants. Our hope is that at the end of the season, all players will have had a positive experience, and will want to continue participating in sports programs.
With that goal in mind, we have created a recreational league where sportsmanship, fair play, and equal opportunity are as important as winning. We ask that our coaches foster a positive environment, and act as positive role models for the players entrusted to their direction.
All coaches must abide by the coach's code of conduct, which lays out the basic guidelines for coaching in Play Flag Football leagues.

Coaching Tips & Principles
General Youth Coaching Principles:
Coaching is an extremely important responsibility. A good coach always places the best
interests of a player before winning.
Coaching youth sports is a difficult job because parents expect professional results from people who are mostly volunteers. High school, college and pro coaches start as
assistants and work their way up through years of intense professional training.
The players and their parents have placed you in a position of leadership, and you have a responsibility to give them your best effort. Additionally, this football experience will
play a significant factor in determining whether the players continue participating in
football. If you follow the coaching guidelines and general principles below, the players and their parents will be better served.
