Player Safety

Football is one of the safest contact sports because of the quality of protective equipment, evolving rules, player and coach safety training, and modified practices. CCFA coaches receive formal training and in turn, educate our players, and follow the rules and regulations of USA Football. The following links will provide you with more understanding.

At CCFA, the safety and well-being of our young athletes is our top priority. We believe that every child deserves a safe and supportive environment to learn and enjoy the game of football. Our organization is dedicated to implementing rigorous safety protocols, including comprehensive training for coaches on injury prevention, proper tackling techniques, and first-aid response.

This level of commitment allowed us to be among only a handful of organizations nationwide to achieve the highest level of recognitions from USA Football, the nationwide governing body overseeing youth football.
