ABOUT THE NHSFCA
The National High School Football Coaches Alliance was established in 2018 to foster frequent and meaningful collaboration between state high school coaches associations, advance best practices across high school football, and unite and serve its coaching community.
The NHSFCA, led by state high school association directors and presidents, will provide access to unique and progressive professional development and continuing education platforms, digital and physical coaching tools, and communication vehicles that extend beyond state borders.
In 2019 at USA Football’s annual National Conference, members unanimously passed a vote for each member to conduct a youth and high school football collaboration event in their state.
In addition, members formed two focus groups:
- Practice Guidelines & Recommendation Committee
- Professional Development/Coach Education Committee
