Webb City High School coach John Roderique and Rockwood Summit High School coach Mike Bellars will lead the coaching clinics, which are free to attendees. The clinics are slated to take place July 27 in Olathe, Kansas, July 31 in Webb City, Mo., and Aug. 7 in Kansas City.
"Smart coaching can make a lasting and positive impact on kids and their sports development," Mahomes said. "I'm happy to partner with USA Football to support healthy football practices for coaches and youth athletes across the K.C. region."
Additionally, Mahomes' foundation announced it will distribute $2,000 operating grants to 15 youth football leagues in the area through an online grant application.
"Patrick's commitment to kids through his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation is immense and uncommon," USA Football chief executive Scott Hallenbeck said. "We value Patrick's friendship and love of the game to deliver best-in-class coach training and grants to help elevate youth football programs throughout Greater Kansas City."
Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, founded 15 and the Mahomies Foundation in 2019. It has partnered with over 20 charitable organizations and nonprofits since its inception.
