This July 22nd-25th, many of the greatest football minds in the country will come together for the 2008 NFL Youth Football Summit.

The 2008 NFL Youth Football Summit will be held in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, from July 22-25. Designed to recognize coaches dedicated to their young players' success both on and off the field as well as football's development, the Summit features seminars and discussions to further strengthen the game. Presenters include renowned football experts, NFL legends, leaders in the fields of sports medicine and sports psychology, and representatives from USA Football – the national governing body of America's favorite sport on youth and amateur levels.

Attending will be some of the country's most effective high school and youth coaches, including those with NFL playing experience. In addition, the NFL invites a deserving high school coach from your state to be part of this innovative football workshop and idea exchange. We invite you to visit www.NFLHS.com/contests.aspx and nominate an active high school football head coach to attend this year's NFL Youth Football Summit as your state's delegate. Self-nominations are welcome. The NFL and the NFL Players Association, which have made a major commitment to investing in the game with the establishment of the NFL Youth Football Fund, direct and organize the Summit as well as cover participants' transportation, hotel accommodations and meals.

The nomination deadline is Friday, March 28, 2008. Visit www.NFLHS.com for more details and submit your nomination today!
