GET TO KNOW US

We're Ben and Mike, co-hosts of the It’s Only Kids Football podcast, a light-hearted and relatable show that chronicles our journey as football coaches and dads.

We share stories from our team’s progress, funny moments with the players and seek expert advice to help us become better coaches.

Our goal is to create a positive space for parents and youth coaches to enhance the football experience for kids.

OUr Values

  • Create a community for coaches and parents seeking advice and a space to discuss challenges within grassroots youth football.

  • Develop coaches and parents so they can help kids build good habits, improve technique and emotional intelligence, all while keeping football fun.

  • To celebrate the best of grassroots football, where the community can unite to laugh at relatable experiences and share the pure love of the game.
