Humboldt's Josh Kirk Named Vikings Flag Football Coach of the Week

Congratulations to Humboldt's Josh Kirk, named the Minnesota Vikings Flag Football Coach of the Week. After each week of games during the high school girls flag football season, the Vikings honor a coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school's girls flag football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.

Coach Kirk grew up in Tracy, Minnesota, where his passion for football began early at Tracy-Milroy-Balaton. He is currently in his fourth year of teaching and his first year in Saint Paul Public Schools, teaching middle school Physical Education and Health. Coach Kirk played both football and basketball at Gustavus Adolphus College, then moved to Anoka while completing his Master's in Sports Management.

Coach Kirk has coached at the varsity level in football, basketball, track and field, and now girls flag football. Coach Kirk wants to help create opportunities for student-athletes and build a positive, supportive environment where they can grow both on and off the field. As Coach Kirk builds this program in its first year, he is grateful for his assistant coach, Steve Yang. They are energized about the future and committed to providing the best possible experience for their athletes.
