About

Founded in 1981, the Northwest Ohio Football Coaches Association is a volunteer organization of coaches dedicated to improving and promoting the game of football.

Through their efforts the members of the NWOFCA Advisory Committee will:

  1. Provide coaches clinics to give member coaches opportunities to learn and improve their knowledge of the latest football fundamentals and training methods.
  2. Promote respect and professional relationships between member coaches, schools, and football programs.
  3. Facilitate communication between college coaches and NWOFCA members as they assist their student-athletes with the football recruiting process.
  4. Recognize member coaches, administrators, and support personnel for outstanding achievement, citizenship, or long-term contributions to their football program.
  5. Award the NWOFCA Scholarship to provide college assistance to a member coach’s child or stepchild.
