FOR YOU. FOR THE GAME.

You organize and coach the game. You give your time to football. We’re here to help you make the most of it.

We lead, strengthen and grow football. We’re here to help you and everyone who loves the game by providing resources, education and events.

If you love the game, we’ll help you make it smarter, safer and more fun. For commissioners, the first step is enrolling your organization.

Enrollment for 2023 is now open for all organizations.

WHAT IS ENROLLMENT?

This is our way to help you make a positive impact on the athletes in your community.

By enrolling your organization with USA Football, you’ll get resources and tools to…

  • Develop participants as people and athletes
  • Simplify your operations
  • Empower and educate coaches
  • Gain recognition for your league
  • Grow your organization

Enrolling is also the first step to the League Excellence Program, where you can earn recognition for your commitment to your athletes and puts your organization on a path to get better, every year. It's also how you can gain eligibility for our expanded Grant Program.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?

Enrolling is easy!

Here’s what you need to complete the process:

  1. Identify Game Types you’ll offer by age-group
  2. Estimate athlete and coach totals by Game Type
  3. If appropriate, collect your 501(c)(3) and non-profit information.
  4. Login, find or create your league and enroll

By enrolling, you’re agreeing that athlete safety and wellness is the priority of your organization.

You’re also taking steps to get your coaches certified and making sure your organization is properly insured. Insurance coverage minimums for 2023 will be released soon at usafootball.com/insurance, but will be similar to 2022.
