The Challenge
What the NFL neededHealth and safety has always been a huge priority for the NFL, especially in their grants awarded to coaches or clinicians for youth football programs. With the large amount of money being awarded annually, and the increasing number of applicants across the country, it was important to the NFL that applicants could prove that they were qualified to coach in a safe and efficient manner. The NFL Foundation wanted to implement an educational aspect of the grant process that made it necessary for applicants to learn about coaching safety, with the ability to potentially introduce other courses down the line. Additionally, the program needed to work seamlessly with their current website and Grant Application Management System (GAMS), and it was important that the NFL employees have control over editing, changing, or adding content.
Results
How the LMS provided benefitThrough the NFL Foundation’s grant programs, thousands of youth across the country have been given the opportunity to learn the game of football, get physically fit, and stay involved in productive after-school activities with adult mentors. With the implementation of the NFL Foundation’s LMS, these participants have the opportunity to learn in a safe and inclusive environment, making the game even more fun.
