Chad Whidden
President & Defensive Coordinator (11U)
Chad Whidden has been a dedicated leader within the Chesapeake Wolverines organization since 2021, stepping up as the Head Coach of the 10U team in the wake of COVID. His passion and commitment to the program led him up the leadership ladder, and in January 2025, he proudly took on the role of President. 
Specializing in the development of kickers, punters, and safeties, Chad's coaching philosophy goes beyond football. He believes in shaping young athletes into respectful, disciplined individuals who understand the value of family, hard work, and integrity. He emphasizes the importance of respecting parents--honoring Mom and Dad both on and off the field--and carrying those values into everyday life.
Under Chad's leadership, the Chesapeake Wolverines continue to be a program that not only builds strong athletes but also instills character, teamwork, and a deep respect for the family values that shape future leaders. 
Fun Fact: Before leading the Chesapeake Wolverines, Coach & President Chad was a standout athlete and leader in the Navy. He served as Captain and Coach of Navy soccer and flag football teams, leading them to multiple championships. His competitive spirit and leadership were forged during his decade of service in the U.S. Navy (2002-2012), where he developed the discipline, teamwork, and resilience he brings to the field today.
