Berthoud's Blaine Voth Named Denver Broncos Flag Football Coach of the Week

Berthoud coach Blaine Voth has earned the latest Denver Broncos Flag Football Coach of the Week honor, a recognition awarded through the ongoing partnership between the Denver Broncos and the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA).

The weekly award celebrates the coaches who are helping build one of the fastest-growing sports in the state. As girls flag football expands its footprint in Colorado, the recognition shines a light on the educators and mentors doing the day-to-day work of shaping teams, developing athletes, and creating opportunities for young women to compete on the gridiron.

A Growing Game in Colorado

Girls flag football has surged in popularity nationwide, and Colorado has been part of that momentum. Backed by NFL franchises like the Denver Broncos, the sport has moved from a novelty into a legitimate competitive offering at high schools across the state. Programs are forming, rosters are filling, and postseason play is taking shape — all signs of a sport that is here to stay.

The Broncos' involvement has been a driving force. Through equipment support, coaching clinics, and public recognition like the Coach of the Week program, the franchise has invested in the grassroots growth that keeps the sport thriving at the prep level. Awards like this one help put a face to that investment, spotlighting the people who make each season possible.

Recognizing Voth's Leadership

For Voth, the honor reflects the commitment required to lead a program during a period of rapid change and growth. Coaches in emerging sports often wear many hats — teacher, organizer, motivator, and advocate — as they build the foundation for future seasons. Being named Coach of the Week acknowledges that effort and the impact it has on athletes at Berthoud.

The recognition is not just about wins and losses. It's about the culture a coach builds, the way athletes respond, and the enthusiasm a program generates within its school and community. For newer sports especially, that culture-building work can determine whether a program takes root or fades away.

What It Means for Berthoud

For Berthoud, having its coach recognized by an NFL franchise is a point of pride and a signal that the program is on the right track. Recognition of this kind can energize a roster, draw interest from prospective players, and reinforce the value of the sport within the school community.

It also serves as encouragement for the athletes who show up to practice and compete each week. When their coach earns statewide acknowledgment, it validates the hard work happening behind the scenes and can help fuel momentum for the rest of the season.

Looking Ahead

As flag football continues to gain traction in Colorado, honors like the Denver Broncos Coach of the Week will remain an important part of celebrating the sport's growth. Each week brings new opportunities to recognize the coaches driving that progress — and this week, that spotlight belongs to Blaine Voth and Berthoud.

The partnership between the Broncos and CHSAA underscores a shared goal: giving more young athletes the chance to play, compete, and grow through flag football. With coaches like Voth leading the way, the future of the sport in Colorado looks bright.
