Running an organization is hard and sometimes thankless work. We're here to help and enrolling with USA Football is the first step.
FOR YOU. FOR THE GAME.
You organize and coach the game. You give your time to football. As the sport's U.S. Governing Body, 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 league Commissioners, the organization's or school's administrators are the only ones who can complete the first step of enrolling their organization.
