South County Football League

The South County Football League (SCFL) is committed to ensuring a positive youth football experience and advancing player safety this Fall by providing league-wide coaching education and teaching resources that benefit players, parents and coaches through USA Football's Heads Up Football program. USA Football is the official youth development partner of the NFL and its 32 teams. The SCFL includes over 40 teams comprised of more than 700 players and 80 coaches. Every SCFL coach will be trained in Heads Up Football techniques before leading their teams this season. All SCFL head coaches and assistant coaches will complete USA Football's accredited Level 1 Coach Certification Course, which includes Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concussion recognition and response protocols; proper helmet and shoulder pad fitting; and Heads Up Tackling techniques, which aim to take the head out of the line of contact. Through Heads Up Football, Player Safety Coaches will be trained by USA Football to implement, evaluate and monitor Heads Up Football player safety protocols within the organization.
