More info about each requirement is below.
Committing to the Program
Our programs require coaches to run the same offense and defense at every level. We have a strict coach conduct policy; there's absolutely no profanity on the field. Our coaches do this because they want to, not because they have to.
Background Checks
The background check is the first step of the process. It is conducted by NJFL. PeopleTrail is the company conducting the checks.
The background check info goes to the NJFL Executive board who determines if a coach passes the check.
The adjudication used is the USA Football standard and flags any felony, violent crime, drug related crime, sexual related crime, or crimes involving a minor.

Coach's Code of Conduct
Each coach signs the Code of Conduct. Our coaches hold each other accountable, and this is point of pride for our franchise.
NJFL Certification
NJFL is currently evaluating new certification programs. Stay tuned for details regarding this.
