What You Need to Coach Football in Colorado

Requirements vary by district and level. Here's what most programs expect.

Experience
Football Knowledge

Programs want coaches who understand offensive and defensive schemes and can teach the sport at the youth or high school level. Assistant positions are the most common entry point. Played experience helps but isn't required for all roles.

Certifications
CPR, First Aid & Concussion Training

Most Colorado school districts require CPR/First Aid and concussion training before you can coach. Many also require NFHS Fundamentals of Coaching for head positions. These can all be completed online in a few hours.

Screening
Background Check

Every school district in Colorado requires a background check and fingerprinting through CBI. Club and youth programs have similar requirements when working with minors. This is processed after an offer is made, not at application.

Teaching License
Not Always Required

Many Colorado districts hire non-teacher football coaches, particularly for assistant and JV roles. If a posting requires a teaching license, it will say so explicitly. Most middle school and high school assistant positions do not require one.

Most Colorado coaching certifications can be completed online. Getting these done early helps you stand out and move through hiring faster.

Get Connected with CoachBridge

The nationwide coaching shortage isn't from a lack of interest. It's from a lack of visibility. Schools rely on word-of-mouth to fill positions. Coaches looking for jobs can't find openings online. The interest is there on both sides, but they're not connecting. CoachBridge fixes that. One centralized platform for all coaching jobs. Schools can post assistant positions for free. Coaches can search by sport, level, and location.
