YFBCA's Updated Coaches
Background Check Program for 2011.
|
The Youth Football Coaches Association and Coeus Global understand that effective volunteer management has become a necessity in today's youth football world. Certifying coaches and conducting background checks are often overlooked items when  preparing for a new season.
Choosing the right partner can be the difference between providing a safe and secure environment for the young athlin your league and allowing undesirable elements to tarnish your leagues valuable community reputation. YFBCA has partnered with Coeus Global to develop a "best in class" background screening system for youth sports leagues.
Not only is Coeus Global a respected source of risk management process and procedures, but their CEO Art Ferrira has been a youth football league director for over 20 years and understands the mission of YFBCA.

Effective September 1, 2011 NAERA members will not recondition/recertify any football helmet 10 years of age or older.
National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association, NAERA, announced today the new 10 year policy adopted in their winter meeting. This policy will become effective at the start of the reconditioning season September 1, 2011 for the 2012 football season. The 10 years shall be determined by the manufactures date as required by NOCSAE document 001.
For example at the end of this upcoming 2011 football season, any helmet dated 2002 or older will not be reconditioned/recertified.
NAERA is an association of 21 athletic equipment reconditioners and 4 helmet manufacturers whose mission is to increase awareness and acceptance of high quality athletic equipment reconditioning / recertification. Particular emphasis is directed towards reducing the risk of injury for athletic event participants. Members are licensed by NOCSAE to recertify football, lacrosse, softball/baseball helmets, and face guards. NAERA members reconditioned/recertified over 1.7 million helmets last year.
For more information and a list of NAERA members please see our website at www.naera.net |
YFBCA recommends that each league checks with their local reconditioners to learn more.

Planning for Youth Football in March
by Dave Cisar of Winning Youth Football
While many of us see the football season as way off in the distance and are maybe coaching youth baseball, basketball of even lacrosse, what should we be doing in March in preparation for the 2011 season? The first thing is if you have yet to send out your attaboy letters to last years team, it's not too late. These personalized letters tell the player you appreciated his efforts and let him know he is a valuable part of the team. You can personalize it a bit by recalling some of his better experiences with the team last season and of course include a call to action of having him sign up to play next season.
See the full check list at Winning Youth Football Blog
Get excited, the first day of football practice is less than 5 months away !!!
