Same Mission. More Sustainable Model.

FAITH. FAMILY. FOOTBALL.

Building Champions. Inspiring Kids. Shaping Futures.

The SoCal Coyotes use the power of sport, mentorship and leadership education to help young people build lives of character, responsibility and purpose.

Our next chapter brings that mission to community recreation through Desert Recreation District, NFL FLAG and the relationships that have always made our work personal.
