Barrington Youth Football

Welcome Barrington Youth Football (BYF) coaches!

BYF has adopted the American Sport Education Program's coaching education courses as part of the requirement for becoming a head coach, assistant head coach, or staff coach in BYF tackle and flag programs.

Coaches should purchase the appropriate course below for the coach level. Coaches should complete the course prior to their first TCYFL game. Once a coach has completed the course, he or she can print and/or e-mail a transcript from the ASEP National Coaches Registry as proof of completion for reimbursement by BYF for the cost of the course.
