USA Football got involved in the NFL Scouting Combine, holding the first Youth Football Commissioner's Conference last weekend. The Heads Up Football program event gathered coaches from the 500 largest youth football organizations in the country.
The goal of the event was to prepare coaches and youth players to engage football in a safe manner. Among the speakers were Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis and NFL player safety advisor Oliver Luck.
Many of the participants were able to watch a day of combine activities before engaging in seminars and demonstrations involving the Heads Up program.
