Oscar Estrada
Head Coach 9U
“Growing up, football was never an option at a young age. When I decided to try out in middle school I realized that kids who played youth football early had an advantage over me and I felt it wasn’t fair. Now I have the opportunity to coach and want to share my love for the sport to anyone who is willing to learn and take the challenge. I have found a home with The EPTX Lion’s Den and hope to continue helping young football players through this great organization"

Ascari Wooten
Offensive Coordinator/HC
“I have a love for football since I started playing at the age of ten. From my personal experience, I believe any kid can run, catch, kick, and throw the ball. Every kid has a talent they may not have unlocked yet and it’s our job as coaches and parents to bring it out of them as best we can. I don’t yell, I coach and a cheer them on. I’m not the best coach in the world, but I’m one of them and coach alongside many of the best. Welcome to the den .”
