There’s an old saying in life that as you grow older “Only the names and faces change.” FirstDown PlayBook has been helping youth football coaches and flag football coaches for 16 years now and I can tell you the names and faces will be different but some of you are about to make the same mistakes that are made every year. The end result will be that you will take the fun out of flag football for you and your young players.

If you are new to flag football coaching there are things and people you have to be wary of. The people come in the form of imposters who will sell you things or flag football coaching help that serve little to no purpose. Many of them, not only don’t help you but they even make it harder for you to coach.

I walk you through some of these in the short video below but I will just list several things that you should consider before you blow $15 on that useless flag football pdf this summer. Ask these questions before you buy.

Starting to get the picture? To put it succinctly, FirstDown PlayBook has been doing this for a long time. We understand what you are about to take on and we spend the entire year working to make it easier and more fun for you to help kids.
