7. How can I become a coach?

 

All Coaches here at Port St. Lucie Football and Cheer Inc. are certified through the USA Football and have passed a complete background check. The certification is obtained by attending an online instructional course. Tackle Head Coaches must have been an assistant in the league for one season before becoming a head coach.  All coaches must maintain current membership status with the USA Football to be on the sidelines during games.  We believe these qualification requirements for our coaches establish the safest environment in which to learn the proper way to play football. Coaches are selected prior to the season starting by the PSLAA Board of Directors.
