Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is up to something cool again through his incredible foundation.
On Tuesday, USA Football announced a partnership with 15 and the Mahomies with the goal of enhancing the youth football experiences of children throughout the Greater Kansas City area this season. Mahomes will be hosting three free youth football coaching clinics this summer, training youth football coaches to become smarter coaches by teaching principles of USA Football’s Football Development Model,
In addition to the free coaching clinics, 15 and the Mahomies will be awarding 15 operating grants to youth football leagues across both Missouri and Kansas. Programs may complete an online grant application beginning now through July 14.
The dates for the youth football coaching clinics have already been announced and they correspond with off days from the Chiefs’ upcoming training camp.
