USA Football Certification

Spring-Ford Youth Football & Cheer, in cooperation with USA Football, is striving to make football a safer game. With the addition of a dedicated USA Football Representative, all coaches are required to attend training and practice drills associated with safer tackling procedures.


USA Football’s Football Certification is a step-by-step protocol to teach the core principles of the skills and sets a new standard in player safety. The program utilizes fundamentals through a series of drills to reinforce proper tackling mechanics and to teach players how to properly tackle with a focus on reducing helmet contact.


To begin in the certification process, please go to USA Football and create an account, choosing the appropriate group (flag or tackle/ contactless or contact) and age group.  Once the certification is complete please email the certificate to: football.sfyfc@gmail.com. 

USA Cheer

Spring-Ford Youth Football & Cheer works with USA Cheer to provide coaches access to the latest trainings and techniques to promote cheer safety. Cheer coaches should complete the USA Cheer Youth/Rec Safety & Risk Management, USA Cheer Athletic Protection, and CrashCourse Concussion, found at usacheer.org/safety.
