BETTER COACHES = BETTER SAFER FOOTBALL

GYFA's dedicated VOLUNTEER COACHES commit to improving their skills to teach better safer football.  All coaches receive mandatory off-season education as well as numerous other opportunities to attend outside and hosted coaching clinics.  They all spend countless hours on and off the field to better guide their players.  Next time you see one of the VOLUNTEER COACHES, say thanks for all that they do!  None of this is possible without them.
