The NFL has the strongest membership of debate and speech coaches of any high school professional membership organization in the country. Over 9,000 active coaches serve the League and its students. In turn, NFL supports, nurtures, and recognizes its coaches. NFLs commitment to its mission, its respect within the academic community, and resources available to such an established organization made it the primary candidate for such a responsibility. The NFL has provided coaches with years of helpful articles in Rostrum magazine, while providing an assortment of instructional audio, video, online and print materials to supplement teaching and learning. With that tradition as a foundation, were taking coach education efforts to a new level!
