American Football Coaches Foundation
The American Football Coaches Foundation was established by the AFCA in 1998 to fund its education mission. Contributions generated by The American Football Coaches Foundation will ensure that the coaching community will continue to have the finest possible professional development and educational tools now and in the future. The AFCF shall engage in a variety of activities to promote and advance education in coaching the game of football at the youth, amateur and recreational levels and shall promote and support generally the sport of amateur or recreational football at the secondary and collegiate levels of education.
Plaza of Influence
The power of a coach’s influence is immeasurable. Located at the national headquarters of the American Football Coaches Association, the Plaza of Influence is a special place where football coaches can be honored by those whose lives they have inspired. Coaches range from the obscure to the nationally known. The common bond is their profound influence on lives-touched and changed. Coaches who might never be in a coaches’ Hall of Fame can be honored in the Plaza of Influence.
Power of Influence Award
In 2002, the AFCA and the American Football Coaches Foundation decided to implement a national award for high school head coaches. The Foundation takes great pride in nationally recognizing a high school football head coach who, for a lifetime, has had a powerful influence on his staff, players, and his community. For this prestigious award we ask state high school coaches associations to nominate the most deserving head football coach in their organization.
