Volunteer Coaches
VOLUNTEER COACHES ARE PARENTS. We appreciate their time and effort while helping and encouraging our young athletes.
​
HEAD COACHES AND ASSISTANT COACHES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL PRACTICES.
Practices are completely at the coaches discretion. We ask that teams practice at least once a week. Furthermore, coaches need to establish clear communication with the team and parents. Please do not volunteer if you can not take on these responsibilities.
​
-
Only 1 football is provided to the coach at the coaches meeting. All extra practice gear may be purchased by the volunteer. Flags are also provided and apart of the uniform.
​
A coach is placed on the team associated with their player.
In the event a team does not have any volunteers to register, NJ Flag will email the team asking for parents to volunteer. If a parent does not volunteer within 2 days before the official game start date, a NJ Flag representative will ONLY coach the team until a parent is available.
NJ Flag has a primary coaches meeting explaining all flag rules before the season begins. We also provide resources like the official PDF copy of the NFL Flag Rule Book and starter playbooks.
