DFW Coaches Clinic was formed with the intent to provide a high quality, affordable instructional clinic for high school football coaches. The motto is “A Clinic for High School Coaches Given by High School Coaches”.  In living up to that motto, DFW Clinic offers the unique format of allowing only high school football coaches to lecture, and provides a forum for all high school coaches to learn new football and motivational techniques. Two of the main goals are to help improve the overall quality of coaching and to give something back to the coaching community. A well informed coach will do a better job teaching and motivating his players to stay involved in their sport and in school. Students who are involved in extracurricular activities are more successful and cause fewer problems than kids who are not involved.

The inaugural DFW Coaches Clinic was held in 1999 and had over 550 coaches in attendance. Over 1100 high school, middle school and youth league coaches from Texas and the surrounding states are projected to be at the 2015 clinic. The 17th annual clinic takes place January 30 - February 1, 2015 at the Embassy Suites Hotel at DFW Airport. The DFW Coaches Clinic is the largest clinic in the state that features only high school coaches as speakers. A portion of all the proceeds from this clinic go to area Special Olympics programs.
