FOR PARENTS & ATHLETES
Parent / Athlete Signup
Submit one form for each athlete. Use the same parent email for siblings so your family’s submissions stay together.
This is the national signup step, not a confirmed place at a local clinic. You must still complete local coach registration, required forms, and any applicable payment when your clinic’s details are confirmed. Email marketing consent is optional.
Form not loading? Open the signup form in a new tab.

Two brothers.
A bigger calling.
Founded by Michael and Jacob Flores, both Ivy League graduates, National Lineman Day brings a lifetime of football back to the next generation. Their shared football journey spans the Ivy League, Power Four, Group of Six, and the NFL.

The details.
Are all 50 clinics confirmed?
Not yet. A clinic in every state is the December 12, 2026 goal. The state finder will show confirmed locations and registration information when they are available.
Who can attend, and what does it cost?
Free admission, a 10 AM local start and a 90-minute clinic are proposed. Each confirmed state clinic will publish its final age groups, fees, schedule and equipment requirements. Check your state page for registration status. A parent or guardian completes registration for minors.
Is this for offensive or defensive linemen?
Both. The day celebrates the line on both sides of the ball. Specific coaching groups will be listed with each local clinic.
Can I book the Antarctica clinic now?
No. The December 12, 2027 Antarctica clinic is the planned finale of the seven-continent vision. Expedition arrangements and approvals must be confirmed before travel or attendance can be offered.
How are applications, update requests and inquiries used?
The National Lineman Day organizing team stores your submitted adult name, email, organization, city, state, venue status, message and any coaching bio or links you supply to assess and coordinate potential clinic hosts. A copy is sent through FormSubmit to hello@thetrenchu.com for review. Applications remain private. An approved coach profile can be published only after organizer approval, a signed participation agreement and your separate profile permission. Your email and private application notes stay private. Contact permission applies to organizing this event; the form does not sign you up for unrelated marketing. Do not include athlete medical details or children’s personal information. Keep your application reference for future questions.
State update requests store an adult’s name, email and selected state. Sponsor inquiries also store organization, support scope and the optional message. These requests are stored for event coordination and copies are forwarded through FormSubmit to hello@thetrenchu.com when email forwarding is available. A saved request does not guarantee email delivery. The forms do not register athletes, reserve places or enroll anyone in unrelated marketing. Sponsor inquiries do not grant access to family contact lists.
Contact hello@thetrenchu.com with your reference to ask about your information, request removal or stop event updates. External coach websites and registration providers have their own terms and privacy practices.
