How can I become a coach?
We're honored to have all volunteer coaches made up of moms, dads, and Gridiron alums who want to give back to their communities.
If you're interested in joining their ranks, find a league near you! During the registration process, you can volunteer to be a head coach, assistant coach, or team manager. If you’ve already registered your athlete, you can still volunteer by selecting “Volunteer” in the Gridiron Football portal and completing the next steps. Here is an easy step-by-step video tutorial of the process.
If you're already a coach of a team, you can also register a full or partial team of players. From the registration dashboard, click ‘Register a Team’ or from the side menu, select ‘Registration and then ‘Team Registration’. Please note, by registering a team you are volunteering as Head Coach.
Note: All Gridiron coaches will need to pass a National Background Check.
Rulebook
Meet Your Commissioner
Gridiron of Northern Colorado strives to put a smile on every kids face and provide a creative and active outlet to play flag football. Our program offers the chance for kids to learn the game, develop friendships and have a fun and safe environment. Stephen is a strong believer that youth sports play a crucial role in a child's development and the lessons learned between the lines and working with teammates translate into all aspects of life as our kids grow up. Personally I got involved with Gridiron as a coach for my own son and watching him grow up over the seasons and develop friendships that will last a long time, even though many of them now all go to different schools. The value of getting outside to play was instilled in Stephen during a career in the outdoor recreation business and watching the positive impacts that Gridiron provided his own kids fosters his desire to further that experience for all our kids locally.
