More About Coach Christopher
Bachelor of Science, 2001
Philadelphia Fire Fighter, 2008 - Present
Certifications: USA Youth Tackle, EMT, CPR.
Championship: Head Coach / OC
Harleysville Eagles, 2019, 2020, 2022
World Championship: Head Coach
NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame,
Canton, Ohio 2019
North Penn Squires,
Head Coach 2016 to 2018
I bring a well-rounded coaching background with experience developing athletes across multiple positions and age groups. My focus is on building complete football players — not just skill at one position, but a full understanding of the game.
I served as Head Coach of the North Penn Squires (2016–2018), where my teams never had a losing season. During that time, we appeared in the first ICFL Championship game in program history and won the annual Blue & White Trophy three consecutive years, finishing with a 26–5 record (.807).
I later became Head Coach of the Harleysville Eagles (ages 13–14) in the Keystone League, where we built a dominant program over four seasons. Our teams won 3 American Championships and 1 World Championship at the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, finishing with an overall record of 35–1 (.972).
My coaching approach emphasizes fundamentals, discipline, and versatility. I work with athletes at all positions — including offensive and defensive line, linebackers, skill positions, and overall football IQ development — helping players grow into confident, well-prepared competitors at the youth and middle school levels.
My football journey began in 1991 as an All-City running back at Northeast High School in Philadelphia. After accumulating thousands of all-purpose yards, I went on to attend East Stroudsburg University as a Division II scholarship athlete, where I started 20 consecutive games at cornerback and safety and earned the prestigious Letterman Award.
During my playing career, I had the opportunity to learn from outstanding coaches, including Brew Schumer at Northeast High School, Denny Douds at East Stroudsburg University, and former Head Coach James Franklin.
After college, I continued playing semi-professional football in the Patti LaBelle Football League in Philadelphia. As my family grew, I transitioned into a career in public service, and I am currently a Philadelphia firefighter with 18 years of service.
Football has always been a major part of my life, and I bring that same passion, discipline, and knowledge into coaching. My goal is to help young athletes develop strong fundamentals, build confidence, and understand the game at a high level—both on and off the field.
I coach all positions and focus on developing complete football players, not just one position.

Took my son to coach Chris and he can't wait to return next week. My son plays football and basketball and wants to increase his strength, balance, coordination, explosiveness, learn proper movements, stretching, and warm ups to preserve and prevent injury. He really enjoyed the instruction and the facility. Definitely recommend coach Christopher
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris worked out with my 14 yo son today - his experience, expertise and unique style connects with kids in a way that promotes self confidence followed by results on the field. My son has come a long way with Chris and we’ll continue to use his services. THANK YOU Coach!

Coach Chris made sure to take the time to ask me my son’s position so he could create a custom work out for him. The work out was intense and included a lot of tools My son needs to be successful on the line both offense and defense. Great workout.
