Enrollment for USA Football’s High School Heads Up Football® program available
This is a two-step process for athletic directors or authorized administrators:
1.
Athletic Director registers/renews their free Administrators membership
here: http://www2.usafootball.com/register/commissioner_highschool
2.
If you have not done so already, visit www.usafootball.com/headsup to register your program.
Once your organization is enrolled online, here are the next steps to focus on:

Nominate a Player Safety Coach. This person will be trained by USA Football and will lead the implementation
of Heads Up Football within your organization. He or she should be an experienced, being a senior-level coach on
the staff or administrator who has earned the respect of your coaches and parents and is committed to a better, safer
game.

Get your PSC certified. All Player Safety Coaches must take and pass the Heads Up Football, Heat Illness
Prevention and Concussion in Sports courses at NFHSLearn.com.

Get your PSC trained. USA Football hosts more than 200 clinics across the United States where Player Safety
Coaches are trained in Heads Up Football curriculum and drills. All PSCs – including returning ones – must attend a
single-day clinic each year to receive the latest information. This year instruction on Heads Up Blocking and handling
cases of sudden cardiac arrest are new items in the curriculum.

Get your coaches certified. All coaches become USA Football coach members and complete the Heads Up
Football, Heat Illness Prevention and Concussion in Sports courses at NFHSLearn.com.

Track your coaches. Through your USAFootball.com dashboard, you can see which coaches have registered
and which have completed their 2015 certification requirement.

Share a certificate of insurance. Maintain and provide proof of insurance that meets USA Football’s
requirements: $1 million general liability, $25,000 accident and health/participant liability with USA Football added as
an additional insured.
