COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND–As CSI’s women’s flag football grows, Coach Frank Jennaco focuses on developing female athletes and building a sustainable future for the sport at the collegiate level.
It finally dawned on Jennaco, who watched from the sidelines as the team he coached tirelessly week after week clinched their fourth victory that day to make history as CSI’S first ever NCFFL champions on their home turf.
Jennaco is a well-established coach in the flag football world, coaching boys, and girls across multiple age groups in multiple leagues across Staten Island. He is the founder and director of two of those leagues. He is also currently the head coach of CSI’s women’s flag football team.
“I think that female athletes are easier to coach,” said Coach Jennaco. They’re better listeners, better at execution, they’re very good at taking direction. They’re eager to get things right, female athletes are perfectionists.”
