Bolts Football Club is a nonprofit youth tackle football program based in North Liberty, Iowa, proudly serving players and families throughout North Liberty, Coralville, Iowa City, and surrounding communities.
Every practice, every game, and every season is designed to help young athletes grow in confidence, character, leadership, and teamwork—on and off the field.
Bolts Football Club was founded on a simple belief: youth football should develop great teammates and even better people.
As part of the Youth Sports Foundation (YSF), we provide a safe, competitive, and affordable football experience where every player has the opportunity to learn, compete, and grow. Our volunteer coaches, supportive families, and community partners work together to create an environment where players build skills, friendships, and confidence that lasts long after the final whistle.
To provide a safe, competitive, and character-driven football experience where every player develops confidence, leadership, teamwork, and a lifelong love for the game.
We believe football is one of life's greatest classrooms. Every practice is an opportunity to build integrity, accountability, perseverance, and confidence.
Success starts with putting the team first. We teach players to encourage one another, communicate effectively, and celebrate every teammate's success.
Whether players are transitioning from flag football, returning for another tackle season, or stepping onto the field for the first time, we meet them where they are. Our coaches focus on helping every player build skills, confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love for the game.
Bolts Football Club is powered by dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and families who believe every child deserves the opportunity to play.

A positive, player-focused football experience.
Experienced volunteer coaches who prioritize safety, fundamentals, and character.

Our impact extends beyond football.
Through volunteer service, scholarships, fundraising, and community partnerships, we're working to ensure more young athletes have the opportunity to experience everything youth football has to offer. Because when our community grows stronger, so do our players.
