To apply to be a coach you need to either sign up at registration or contact the coaches committee at coaches@hyfca.org.

  Huntley Youth Football  is now a partner organization with the American Sports Education Program. Listed at this link are all the ASEP requirements for Huntley Youth Football coaches.

To continue to improve on the high quality of coaching we have in the Huntley Youth Football program we are going to implement a Mandatory Coaches Off-season Program in 2008.  Every head coach in 2008, as in the past, must be ASEP certified and pass an interview process.  What will be new this year is that we are asking coaches to attend clinics in the off season.  Below is a list of some of the clinics being offered.  What you will see is that there are three clinics that are mandatory.  Failure to attend the mandatory clinics will affect the coaching selection process for the upcoming season.  If a situation arises where you are unable to attend a mandatory clinic please contact the coaches committee in advance to see what your options are.  

 A big part of our programs success lays not only with the Head Coaches but with the assistant coaches as well.  That is why these mandatory clinics are for all assistant coaches as well as the head coaches.  There is a lot of information made available to coaches and it is up to each of us to step up and grasp that information.  As a potential assistant coach and possible future head coach please do your part to make our program a success. Assistant coaches must also be  ASEP certified.

We have set the bar high and are looking for nothing but the best across the board and our coaches are no exception.  As we continue to grow, we will ensure we have highly qualified coaches to run the Huntley Mustang teams.  We feel that as our program continues to grow and our pool of available coaches are growing, we owe it to the players and their parents to create a process that will allow for the best coaching available for each team we put together.  As a potential coach and representative of Huntley Youth Football, we know that you will do your part to make this program a huge success.  We thank you in advance for your support.
