What is SLV Flag Football?
SLV Flag Football is a part of SLV Youth, Inc., a non-profit organization focused on the enablement of youth activities and sports in the San Lorenzo Valley community. Our goal is to provide a safe, and fun learning environment for youth in the 4th through 8th grade.
When will the season start and end?
The season runs from September to the middle of November. Team practices are held 1-2 times per week and Games are on Sunday afternoons.
When and where can I register my child?
You can use our secure online registration platform.
How much is it to register my child?
The registration fee is $125.
How about Refunds?
We do give refunds up to our skills evaluation. However, we will deduct a $20 insurance fee. There are no refunds after skills evaluation.
I don’t do Credit or Debit Cards
That’s cool too!. Go ahead and select the “Pay by Check” option when registering and mail a check to:
SLV Youth PO Box 11 Ben Lomond, CA 95005
Be sure to place your child’s name and program on the check.
What are the Practice Requirements?
Teams are allowed to practice 2 times per week. The typical schedule is once during the week on the tri-campus area and again on Saturday.
How do you select the teams?
A small group of members selects teams based on ability, athleticism, and physical size. The selection committee is committed to forming balanced teams through the evaluation process and our knowledge from previous experience with players. Head coaches are placed on teams after they are formed and a process is in place for Coaches to have their child on the same team. This is often called a BLIND DRAFT.
Can I request a team, coach or player?
Generally, we do not honor requests to be placed on specific teams or with specific players or coaches. We do allow Head Coaches to pick “Assistant Coaches”. And, we do not honor “bring my team” requests.
Do we offer scholarships?
We do not offer full scholarships. We do accept payments and have offered a discount. Each scholarship is handled on a case-by-case basis. If offered, we can consider volunteer hours in exchange for registration fees. For example, our referees receive a stipend of $20.
