The SWMFL Coaches were once again USA Football certified for the 2021 Season. Unfortionately we were unable to gather with our USA Football team, but an all coaches meeting was held by the SWMFL to welome our new teams and discuss the upcoming season.
The SWMFL offered a hands on league USA Football clinic to certify coaches within the league again in 2019 certifiying nearly 200 coaches. We are the only local league to provide the hands on course led by USA Football certified trainers. The day was a huge success thanks to all who attended and USA Football administration and Staff.
