Heads Up Football is a comprehensive approach to a better and safer game, encompassing USA Football’s accredited Level 1 Coach Certification Course; Heads Up Tackling and Blocking techniques; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concussion recognition and response protocols; heat and hydration; and instruction on proper helmet and shoulder pad fitting.
After completing the workshop, Player Safety Coaches will oversee their leagues’ implementation of the highest national coaching standards for youth football. Player Safety Coaches also will monitor practices and games throughout the season and pass along the Heads Up Football techniques they’ve learned to their youth league coaches, players and parents.
