The Carolina Panthers are proud to honor youth football coaches, tackle or flag, through the Carolina Panthers
Youth Football Coach of the Week program. Youth football league administrators, parents and community
members in North and South Carolina are encouraged to nominate youth football coaches in their area who
make substantial impacts on the sport of youth football through their volunteer efforts. The Panthers will select
ten (10) coaches during the course of the football season. Each winning coach will receive Panthers tickets,
sideline passes, Panthers gift pack, a commemorative and personalized game ball while also being honored
during a special on-field ceremony during a Carolina Panthers home game. All youth football coaches in the
Carolinas are eligible regardless of their team size, league or division. Coaches are evaluated based on their
success on the field, but more importantly, off the field as well. We look for coaches who are making a positive
impact on their players and community.
Coaches, nor their immediate family members, may nominate
themselves.
The Carolina Panthers would like to thank you for helping us recognize our region’s youth football coaches for
the outstanding contributions they make to their teams, leagues and communities.
