Greater Cleveland Football Association participates in the Heads Up Football®, USA Football’s player safety program. A comprehensive method for teaching the sport’s fundamentals in a progressive, age-based approach, Heads Up Football® helps youth football leagues and clubs across the United States ensure a better, safer experience for our players, coaches, and parents.
Youth coaches are trained in the techniques of Heads Up Football® before leading their teams every season. Coaches are required to complete USA Football’s accredited Level 1 Coaching Certification Course before the start of each season, which includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concussion recognition and response protocols; proper helmet and shoulder pad fitting; heat and hydration safety, and Heads Up Tackling and Blocking techniques, which aim to take the head out of the line of contact and teach proper fundamentals.
