Here at the Bills, we pride ourselves on selecting coaches that will help us succeed as an organization, as individual teams, and as leaders on and off the field.
Before each season, we cover certain guidelines with our coaches to ensure that their teams remain competitive but not at the cost of player safety, school work, religious studies or family events. Please see below for our Coach’s Pledge:

disability or ailment my child has.

support at every game/practice or other Bills' related event. This
includes on/off the field, and to include all social media postings.

comments like ‘Your coach doesn’t know what he’s doing”
or ‘I can’t believe you don’t play more’ does not comfort your
child or make the relationship better.
