Coaching youth flag football is one of the highest‑leverage things you can do for your kid.
You’re not just drawing up plays—you’re:
- Helping kids learn the game in a fun, safe environment
- Teaching teamwork, resilience, and confidence
- Creating memories with your child they’ll remember for years
You do not need to be a former college player or expert strategist. If you can communicate, care, and show up, we can teach you the rest.
No Experience? No Problem.
You don’t need prior coaching experience to lead a team at X2-Sports.
We provide:
- Simple practice plans and drills
- Plays and formations suited for ages 6–14
- Coaching tips and guidelines (how to run a huddle, rotate positions, manage equal playing time)
- A clear Coaches Code of Conduct and rule book so you know what’s expected
Your job is to bring the energy, patience, and encouragement. We’ll give you the framework.
Coach Perks
We know coaching is a real commitment, so we try to give something meaningful back.
Head Coaches receive:
- A credit toward a future season of play (issued after you complete your coaching commitments)
- A game ball for the season
- Priority to coach your own child’s team
If you have more than one child playing, you’ll let us know which team you want to head coach. If you end up coaching multiple teams, we’ll do our best to schedule your games and practices back‑to‑back so you’re not sprinting between fields.
One free Head Coach credit is available per team, per season, and one credit per household.
How to Sign Up as a Coach
- Log into your X2-Sports account
- Find the “Volunteer” option for the season you’re registering for
- Select Head Coach or Assistant Coach and complete the form
Head Coach spots are filled based on registration time‑stamp and league needs. If you’re selected as a Head Coach, you’ll automatically be attached to your child’s team.
Coach Requirements
To receive your coaching credit and stay in good standing with the league, Head Coaches must:
- Pass a mandatory background check
- Complete required concussion/safety training
- Attend the mandatory virtual coaches meeting before the season
- Be present and engaged at practices and games throughout the season
Once those obligations are met, you’ll receive a promo code for a future season equal to the registration cost of the season you coached.
