More from Simi Valley
Early sign-ups are under way for the Simi Valley Family YMCA's "Raider Rookies" flag football league. The 10-week season runs from January 10 through March 2, 2008.
Teams are formed based on age. The Y-Rookies league will contain two age divisions: ages 4-5 and 6-7. The Y-Winners league has three divisions: ages 8-10, 11-13 and 14-16. No tryouts are necessary and everyone participates.
"Team members learn the basics of the game of football while their teams compete with one another," says Dave DeMaio, youth sports and parent-child programs director at the Simi Y. "Kids get a solid workout at practices and during games."
Practices and games will be at the Simi Valley Family YMCA (3200 Cochran St., corner of Cochran and Galena). Practices will be held once a week with games scheduled for Sundays between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Participants receive a uniform and trophies will be awarded at the end of the season.
The cost is $65 for Simi YMCA members and $130 for non-members. A $20 late registration fee will be charged for sign ups after January 2. Sign-up forms are available at the Simi Valley Family YMCA or by calling Dave DeMaio at 805-583-5338, ext 236.
