Inside the Training Program
Five Modules. One Complete System.
The Academy is built in clear, progressive modules, from fundamentals to advanced play calling and film study. New modules are added as the Academy grows, always included in your membership.
MODULE 1
Flag Football 101
The foundation for newer coaches. Game format and roles, coaching fundamentals, communicating with players, setting standards and culture, and handling parents and team dynamics, plus core offensive and defensive basics with position drills for quarterbacks, receivers, defensive backs, rushers, and flag pulling.
MODULE 2
The Coverage Beaters Blueprint
A complete system for attacking any coverage. Learn the three foundations of leverage, spacing, and timing, the coverage families and vocabulary, then zone and man coverage beaters in action, plus a film room bonus on beating Cover 3 and a game day decisions sheet.
MODULE 3
Defensive Playmaking
Build a defense that takes the ball away. Zone responsibility, reading receivers, closing space, and flag pulling fundamentals, followed by rusher development, defensive adjustments for 5v5 and 7v7, and practice tools including a takeaway circuit, play call sheet, and weekly tracker.
MODULE 4
Next Level Film Study
Coach like a professional with a repeatable film framework for both offense and defense. Build game plans, identify advantages and mismatches, and develop in game recognition with a game day adjustment tracker.
MODULE 5
Next Level Offensive Play Calling
A complete play calling system. Master the five part framework, situational play calling, play sequencing and play family builders for 5v5 and 7v7, an offensive adjustment checklist and alert system, and a game day playcaller's checklist.

Trusted by Coaches
Coaches Are Already Building Better Teams
Join a growing community of coaches sharpening their craft inside the Academy.
After three decades as a head coach, I know the difference between information and real coaching education.
The Coaches Academy gives you both — proven systems from a former professional quarterback and a community of coaches who push each other to get better. I wish something like this existed when I was starting out.
Scott Jones
30-Year High School Football Head Coach
At the high school level, the details separate good teams from championship teams. The Coaches Academy gives me schemes and concepts I can install right away, plus a community of coaches to talk through game situations with. Coach Dakota knows this game inside and out, and it shows in everything inside the Academy.
Thomas Latimer
Defensive Coordinator, Cherokee High School Girls Flag Football
I have been coaching for over twenty years, and I can tell pretty quickly who knows the game and who’s just talking about it. Coach Dakota knows it.
The Coaches Academy gives flag football coaches the same thing my staff and I work to build every season — real structure, real fundamentals, and a plan for developing young athletes the right way.
