KANSAS CITY COACHES: GET MORE OUT OF YOUR TEAM & YOURSELF
Prep for the season by learning how to design better practices, develop fundamentals and enhance contact skills this summer at a Kansas City Coaching Clinic.
BETTER PRACTICE. BETTER TEAMS.
Getting the most out of your team is hard enough when you're juggling all your coaching duties. To get the most out of your athletes, you must plan and execute practice well.
That's why USA Football partnered with 15 and the Mahomies to create three special Kansas City Youth Football Coaching Clinics.
These clinics can help you design better drills to develop better skills. You'll learn tips for crafting highly effective practice plans. You'll also learn about the Football Development Model (FDM). Please note, these clinics do not count towards a USA Football Youth Coach Certification.
TOPICS TO HELP YOU FIND AN EDGE
Taking place in the classroom and on-the-field, each clinic features these three 45 minute sessions.
