The Humboldt Park Patriots are building something special in the heart of Chicago—a youth football program that puts people before points and character before championships. But don’t get it twisted—we still coach to win.

We believe football can change lives. It teaches discipline, resilience, teamwork, and grit. We're here to give every kid, regardless of income or background, a shot at those lessons. And we need more adults in the huddle who believe in that mission.

The Role:

We’re looking for a few good humans to join our volunteer coaching staff. You don’t need experience—we’ll teach you what you need to know. What matters most is that you love the game, love kids, and are willing to show up consistently and lead with heart.

What You'll Do:

  • Encourage and mentor athletes ages 7–13
  • Teach fundamentals and teamwork (we’ll provide drills and guidance)
  • Bring energy, presence, and accountability to the field
  • Represent the culture we’re building: tough, inclusive, proud, and unified

What You Won’t Do:

  • Call plays with a headset like you’re in the Super Bowl
  • Scream at refs

Requirements:

  • Background check (non-negotiable—we're protecting kids)
  • Reliable transportation
  • Enthusiasm, empathy, and a willingness to learn
  • A heart for the city and the next generation of leaders

Interested?

Join a movement, not just a team. We're not here to replicate the status quo—we're here to raise the bar for what youth football can be in Chicago.
