Youth Coach Certification
The Minnesota Vikings are covering the certification cost for the first 1,000 coaches in the state of Minnesota. Thank you Vikings! Coaches can use either the flag or tackle promo code provided below to remove the $15 fee.
Certifications are flag and tackle specific. Coaches completing the certification for the first time will complete our Level 1 flag or tackle certification, while returning coaches will be automatically assigned to take the Level 2 flag or tackle recertification. Coaches can access the certification by following the steps below. For more detailed instructions on how to create an account with USA Football and/or register for a certification, click here.
Membership
After completing their certification, coaches will have the option to upgrade to a USA Football Coach Membership for only $25. As a member, they will receive additional educational and financial resources including full access to our Youth Tackling & Contact System, USA Football Community, monthly coaches notes, accident insurance, and more.
ZYFA must and will take a hard stance on certification completion for coaches. We cannot accept the risk of exposure for insurance purposes. Thanks for your understanding, patience, and time to complete these sessions.
