Sheldon Cooper, known throughout the program as “Coach Coop,” continues to serve as President of the New Baltimore Ravens Youth Football & Cheer organization and is entering his fourth year with the Ravens.

Football and youth sports are a true family passion for Coach Coop. His son currently plays for the Ravens, while his younger daughter and son are future Ravens in the making. Having coached multiple sports over the years, football holds a special place in his heart—one that began long before the Ravens, including time spent playing at the collegiate level.

He works intentionally to build and protect a culture grounded in hard work, accountability, and sportsmanship, while maintaining a competitive edge that challenges athletes to grow every day. Known for his unmatched energy and enthusiasm, Coach Coop is often the loudest voice on the field—serving as every athlete’s biggest supporter and ultimate hype man, pushing them to believe in themselves and rise to the moment.

To Coach Coop, football is far more than a game. It is a powerful tool for teaching life lessons—resilience, teamwork, discipline, and character. He embraces both the highs and lows that come with the sport, knowing that each moment helps shape confident, capable young people. Watching the Ravens organization continue to grow and thrive is something he takes great pride in, and he values every opportunity to mentor athletes and share his love of the game as they work toward becoming their best selves.
