About the

program


The Dubuque Miners football program was founded by players, for players, with a mission to provide a competitive, supportive, and player-focused environment for athletes who are passionate about the game. As proud members of the Midwest United Football League (MWUF), we represent the city of Dubuque with grit, determination, and a deep love for football.

From leadership to coaching, the Miners were built from the ground up by individuals who have played the game at this level and beyond. With years of combined experience and firsthand knowledge of what it takes to succeed on and off the field, our program is dedicated to helping athletes develop their skills, grow as teammates and community leaders, and compete at a high level.

At the heart of the Dubuque Miners is a commitment to excellence, community, and the power of football to bring people together.
