Registration for the East Bay Youth Sports Ultimate Youth Football league is open. The first meeting is Feb. 23 in Concord and pre-season practice starts Feb. 24 in Danville.
Like arena football, Ultimate Tackle Football is a full pads, contact style of football with 8 players per side and modified rules that make for a safer and more exciting style of play.Younger players benefit from a low key, educational program that allows for fun development of skills while older players enjoy team based competition that really kicks.
Divisions are unique in that we place players where they are best suited according to age and experience, and factors such as size and weight are less important.
FRESHMEN: Ages 7-10 WITH LITTLE TO NO PREVIOUS TACKLE EXPERIENCE
No weight limits for ages 7-9. Age 10 and over 100lbs will be placed in Junior Varsity, regardless of experience. This is primarily a developmental division. Football fun is in store but focus is on development of basic skills and confidence. It is low key and educational with light
competitive level. THIS IS NOT A TRAVELING DIVISION BUT MAY INCLUDE A TRAVEL DAY LATER IN SEASON.
JUNIOR VARSITY: This is a traveling divisio n (some games in San Ramon, some in Concord). Ages 9-12.
Age 9 - No weight limit and with tackle experience.
Age 10 - Over 100lbs with or without tackle experience.
Age 11 and 12 - Under 110 lbs and with or without previous tackle experience.
VARSITY: This is a traveling division (some games in San Ramon, some in Concord). Ages 11-14.
Age 11 and 12 - over 110lbs.

groups of more than 5 players must have coaching staff provided.
Freshman are not grouped in official teams but in groups
