The Bernies run on community.
As a privately funded, volunteer-driven program, we rely on the energy, time, and passion of our families and neighbors to help us deliver a great experience for every child — both on and off the field.

There are many ways to make a difference — whether you’re a parent, alumni, local business, or simply someone who loves giving back to youth sports.

👨‍🏫 Volunteer Coaching

We’re always looking for positive role models to coach in our flag football, tackle football, and cheer programs. No prior coaching experience is required — just a commitment to showing up, setting the tone, and supporting our athletes.

We provide:

  • Guidance and mentorship for new coaches
  • Training and safety resources (Heads Up Football®, etc.)
  • A team-based coaching model for support

All coaches must complete a background check.

🧍‍♀️ Team Parents & Game Day Helpers

If you can help with:

  • Bernie Bowl
  • Picture Day
  • Awards Night
  • Fundraising coordination
    …we’d love your support!

These small acts make a huge impact and help everything run smoothly.

💵 Support Through Fundraising or Sponsorship

We’re a not-for-profit program, and donations help us:

  • Recondition helmets and equipment
  • Purchase new uniforms
  • Offset costs for families in need
  • Enhance safety and facilities

Want to sponsor a team or support the program as a business?
Let’s talk — we’d be happy to feature your brand and share your support with our community.
