Former Chiefs GM/King Carl Peterson has found a new job as the chairman of the USA Football League. I think this could actually be a good fit for Mr. Peterson
Former Kansas City Chiefs executive Carl Peterson is the new chairman of USA Football. He replaces the late Jack Kemp.
In case you are wondering USA Football is the ‘national governing body of youth football’.
The group was endowed by the NFL and NFL Players Association in 2002. It hosts more than 100 football events annually, instructing coaches, players and game officials and providing resources for youth football league commissioners.
USA Football said Tuesday it will host a junior world championship from June 27-July 5 in Canton, Ohio.
According to USA Football these will be some of Peterson’s responsibilities:
Peterson will preside over USA Football’s board of directors and offer his insight toward USA Football initiatives, including:
- Nearly 50 full-day “Coaching Schools” in more than 30 states to train volunteer youth football coaches
- 40 nationwide meetings of youth football commissioners to offer insight and share best practices
- Nearly 20 officiating camps and seminars nationwide to educate and recruit football officials
- 12 three-day “Player Academies” conducted across the country to advance players’ skills, aged 9-14
- Distribution of $500,000 in equipment grants for youth football leagues, based on merit and need
- Distribution of $500,000 in volunteer youth football coach and volunteer background check subsidies
- Creation of the USA Football Youth Football Rule Book & National Playing Standard, unifying the youth game
- Author exclusive and innovative youth football-related research to further advance America’s favorite sport
I wish the best to Carl in his new venture and to USA Football… Good Luck.
