As a Coach, you are one of the most important elements in youth football. A knowledgeable, team oriented coach brings success to their program which not only reflects on their own team, but all teams within the organization and the league. Our Coaches focus must remain to be a positive role model, to allow for teaching and growth for all the children in the program. 

Meadowdale Jr Football will strive to attract the best Coaches with the experience necessary to run a program that will give each child the proper tools to achieve success. We ask that our Coaches must be familiar with the concepts, goals, and philosophies of our organization, and the North Sound Junior Football League.
