Absolutely. Parent volunteers are a big part of what makes our program successful, and no prior football or coaching experience is required.

Our board members and experienced coaches are available to help new volunteers get started and can provide guidance, resources, and support throughout the season.
All coaches and volunteers who work with athletes are required to complete a background check in accordance with league and organizational policies.
If you're interested in helping coach or assisting with the team, please let us know during registration or reach out to us after signing up.
How are teams organized?
The RHAM Flag Football program operates as a single team focused on instruction, skill development, and game play.
When are games played?
Games are played on weekends, with most scheduled on Sundays or Saturdays depending on the division and conference schedule. Whenever possible, we try to schedule flag football games around the tackle football schedule so families with athletes in multiple programs do not have to travel to separate locations.
