OVERVIEW OF PALOS VERDES FLAG FOOTBALL PROGRAM
Welcome to the PV Flag Football League! We are part of the Palos Verdes Youth Football and Cheer Association (PVYFC) organization. We have a co-ed league and an All-Girls flag football league - the first in Palos Verdes!
COMMITMENT
Flag Football requires a commitment from the participant as well as the parents. The football games require knowledgeable and well conditioned participants for the entire team to succeed. If your child is not participating in practices, they will not be effective in the team environment. We encourage players to attend every practice unless sick or injured. Attending consistent practices also helps to prevent injury and accidents.
PRACTICES
Co-ed Flag Football teams practice 2-3 days per week and the practices generally last 1.5 to 2 hours (coach discretion). The all-girls flag football league will practiced 1-2 days per week. Practices are held Sunday through Friday.
Practices for both leagues will be at Ridgecrest Intermediate School - 28915 Northbay Rd, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 or another PV area field. Coaches determine individual team practice times, but practices times are generally held weekdays anywhere between 4:00 and 6:00 pm.
Flag football teams may engage in inter-league scrimmages before the regular season begins.
Since this is our second year forming an all girls flag football program and depending on enrollment numbers, players will learn football fundamentals & teams will be formed & games played.
GAMES
Each co-ed team will play one game a week unless it is a bye week. Game times are normally scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays. Note: Most teams arrive at least one hour prior to game start to warm up and do run throughs.
Games for the all-girls flag football league will be played on Saturdays and/or Sundays.
All games are played at:
Palos Verdes Peninsula High School - 27118 Silver Spur Rd, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274
OR
Palos Verdes High School - 600 Cloyden Rd, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274
Games may be played at additional fields this fall.
FLAG FOOTBALL SAFETY
Our players wear soft helmets and are trained to play safely to avoid injury. A medic is present at each game and coaches are trained in CPR and concussion awareness and protocol.
