USA Football is the national governing body of America's favorite sport on youth and amateur levels. An independent non-profit based near Washington, D.C., USA Football, which hosts more than 100 training events annually, offers education programs for coaches and game officials as well as skill development for young players and resources for youth commissioners.

The organization awards more than $500,000 in equipment grants to youth leagues and high schools each year based on merit and need along with additional resources. USA Football also is the only sports entity to offer as much as $500,000 in subsidies for volunteer youth coach background checks for youngsters' safety. USA Football was endowed by the NFL and NFLPA in 2002.

USA Football does not operate leagues or teams, but serves and strengthens existing leagues to ensure positive football experiences for players, parents and coaches.

USA Football also assembles and manages national team programs as the designated U.S. representative to the International Federation of American Football (IFAF).

Jack Kemp, former U.S. Congressman and standout professional quarterback who led the Buffalo Bills to 1964 and 1965 AFL Championships, is USA Football's Chairman.
