Indiana kids to benefit from youth football's nationally accredited coach certification 

The Indianapolis Colts today announced a partnership with the Finch Creek flag football program to help grow and strengthen youth flag football in central Indiana through awareness and increased participation.

The video captured hearts - a young football player tearfully reading a thank you letter to his coach. On Sunday, the Colts honored Coach Richard Nelloms and Jayden on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium.   

The movie "Remember The Titans" inspired him to play football. He knew he wanted to coach one day. Today, Patric Morrison is using the game to change lives in the small Indiana town he grew up in.   

Their coach asked them to close their eyes and picture themselves at Lucas Oil Stadium. Only three players closed their eyes. The rest of them couldn't picture Lucas Oil Stadium. On Monday, that changed. 

Last Thursday, Colts alumni players ran a football camp for athletes from the Special Olympics of Indiana - and it was hard to tell who was more inspired by who.  

USA Football, the sport's national governing body and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, and the Indianapolis Colts recently awarded grants for new equipment, uniforms and other resources to youth and scholastic football programs throughout the Indianapolis area.
