Honoring Las Vegas Kings Head Coach Chris Wallace — A Leader, A Mentor, And A True Friend

 Today, my blog is about one very remarkable human being, Chris Wallace.

Leader in our community, a role model to our youth, a mentor of many, and a figure held in high regard.

And the head coach of our Las Vegas Kings Arena football team.

Today, the King's family celebrates not just a coach, but a remarkable human being. Head Coach Chris Wallace has become the steady force behind the Kings. A mentor who teaches far more than football. His tireless dedication to guiding young men, both on and off the field, has shaped lives, strengthened character, and built a culture rooted in respect, discipline, and heart.

Coach Wallace’s love for his community is unmistakable. Whether he’s coaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply showing up for people who need him, he leads with humility and purpose. His players look up to him. His staff trusts him. And those who know him — truly know him — understand how rare it is to find someone who gives so much of himself without ever asking for anything in return.

So today, we honor the man behind the whistle.

Happy Birthday, Coach Chris Wallace. You’re an incredible leader, an inspiration to everyone around you, and an awesome person that I’m proud to call a friend.

"Chris Wallace Makes Me A Better Man." Thank You, Chris!

Las Vegas Kings Set For Their Season Opener And A Fans Guide To Arena Football

 What an awesome weekend of football. Not the NFL version of outdoor football! But the fast-paced version of professional arena football. I spent the entire weekend at the Las Vegas Kings Training Camp as they prepared for the upcoming 2025 Arena League Season.

I've been writing and taking photos with the Las Vegas Kings organization since their inception in 2016. 

By the looks of what I saw this past weekend in training camp. Led by Head Coach Chris Wallace, 

The Kings will be fielding a fast-paced offense, along with a crushing defense that will turn heads in arena football this year!

"To this journalist. This year's Kings are bigger, faster, stronger, and meaner than ever"

In my blog this past Saturday, I talked about The Kings gearing up and making preparations for their scrimmage against the Arizona Bandits in Phoenix Arizona this upcoming Sunday. < Read Blog Here >

Many times, in my sports articles and blogs. I'm asked numerous questions about the game of Arena Football. 

Here's my fan's guide to Arena Football. 

(Rules may vary across different leagues)

To me, Arena football is a faster-paced, more high-scoring version of American football played indoors on a smaller field. It has unique rules and strategies that differentiate it from traditional outdoor football.

Field Size: 50 yards long with 8-yard end zones, about half the size of an outdoor field.

Team Size: 8 players per side (compared to 11 in outdoor football).

Scoring: Similar to standard football—touchdowns (6 points), extra points (1 or 2 points), field goals (3 points), and safeties (2 points). 

Kickoffs: The ball is kicked from the goal line instead of the 35-yard line. Rebounds off the nets are live.

Motion Rules: One receiver can move toward the line of scrimmage before the snap (unlike outdoor football, where motion is restricted).

Walls & Nets: The field is surrounded by dasher boards (like hockey), and kicks can rebound off end-zone nets, making the game more unpredictable.

Downs: 4 downs to advance 10 yards, similar to traditional football.

Overtime: Usually one possession per team, with a chance to match or outscore the opponent.

Pass-heavy Offense: Due to the small field, teams rely on quick passes and deep shots.

High Scores: Games often have scores in the 50s or 60s.

Closer fan experience due to small arenas.

Opportunities for players to develop and move to higher leagues.

There you have it. My fast-paced Fans Guide to Arena Football.
