PSO exists to share the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the vehicle of youth football. We require our coaches to lead their team spiritually by praying with their team and leading them in weekly devotionals. Our desire is that youth football players from across the Metroplex would have an opportunity to know Christ personally, learn to play football the right way, and learn valuable life lessons that can be taught through youth sports. PSO leagues strive to make every child a champion. Therefore, PSO coaches are led to encourage, motivate, and build each child’s self-esteem as well as his or her athletic ability.
Mandatory Coach/Volunteer Screening Process
All Fall 2025 PSO Football Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Team Managers are required to register per the instructions below. After you have registered in Touchpoint, you will receive email instructions for submitting an online volunteer background check application and to complete Ministry Safe training. We make every effort to protect our children, so we appreciate the time it takes for you to complete the requirements.
As part of our ongoing commitment to teaching positive life values to the children in our sports leagues, each team will have a designated Team Chaplain responsible for leading the weekly value lesson and pre-game prayer. This role can be filled by the head coach, an assistant coach, or a trusted parent who shares our values and is comfortable guiding these moments for your team.
