Sign-ups Underway for Simi Valley YMCA Youth Flag Football League

Sign-ups are under way for the Simi Valley Family YMCA’s co-ed flag football league. The season runs from January 25 through March 29.

Teams are formed based on age—ages 5 to 7, 8 to 10 and 11 to 13. No tryouts are necessary and everyone participates.

“Kids learn about the fundamentals as well as teamwork,” says Tim Dominguez, healthy living and sports director at the Simi Y. “This is a fun, instructional, competitive league.”

Practices and games take place at Lemon Park (3700 Avenida Simi). Practices will be held once a week with games scheduled for Sundays between noon and 6:00 p.m.

Participants receive a uniform and trophy at the end of the season. The cost is $100 for YMCA facility members and $110 for participant nonmembers.

“We also looking for volunteer coaches,” says Dominguez.

Sign-up forms and volunteer information are available at the Simi Valley Family YMCA (3200 Cochran Street, Simi Valley) or by contacting Tim Dominguez at 805-583-5338, tdominguez@simiymca.org. Registration is also available online at http://www.sevymca.org/simivalley.
