Okay, here are two important dates for your football calendar, along with some information about both. No we are not talking about Christmas and New Years. Instead, two very important dates for football coaches. Let’s look at this year’s dates for the American Football Coaches Association convention and the National Coalition of Minority Football Coaches Conference. They are significant ways a young football coach can enhance their coaching career.

All good football coaches understand the importance of growing professionally in the off season. That might involve X’s and O’s. Our game is always changing and evolving. Good coaches evolve with it. Coaches who do not will die a professional death.

The growth is not exclusive to football schemes though. The importance of making professional connections cannot be overstated. There are some head coaches who will flat out tell you that they will not hire a personunless they know you.

So as we go enjoy the Holidays with our family and friends, take a moment to pencil in these two important professional events on your football calendar taking place in January and February of 2026. Both of these events offer chances to grow professionally.
