Frank Rogers begins his first season as head coach of Union's women's flag football team in 2027.
Rogers brings over 25 years of flag football experience as a coach, official and league operator to Schenectady. He most recently spearheaded the first girls’ flag football program in Section 2 when he started the program at Troy High School in 2023, building the team to 42 athletes in his first year. Since taking over the program, Rogers led Troy to a 14-9 record over two seasons. In April, Rogers was named the New York Giants’ High School Flag Football Coach of the Week after leading the team to wins in its first three games of the 2025 spring season and was honored before a game at MetLife Stadium.
In addition to his work with the Flying Horses, Rogers served as Section 2 coordinator and represented the section on the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Flag Football Committee. He also has spent 20 years coaching in the NFL Youth Flag Football League (now known as NFL FLAG) with his All-American Sport Recreation program, including coaching former NFL running back Dion Lewis.
Outside of flag football, Rogers coached the Albany Metro Mallers semi-pro football team from 2004-09 and led the team to tremendous success, including two Empire Football League titles, one division crown, and a 2008 United States Football Alliance national championship.
A staple in the Capital Region, Rogers earned his bachelor’s degree from Siena College in 1994.
