PALOS VERDES BOUNDARY MAP

The Southern California Youth Football and Cheer Conference, of which Palos Verdes is a member, has strict boundaries for all of its member cities.  To register in Palos Verdes, you must live or attend school in the region specified on the link below.  That said, there are a variety of exceptions that would allow someone that does not live or attend school in our region to participate in our program.  Examples of such exceptions are living in Open Territory  (areas where no member city has a specified boundary such as Los Angeles), living in an area where no team currently exists, having lived in PV and moved to another location after being a part of our program,  etc.  If you have a question regarding boundaries, please leave a message on our Association line and we will discuss your particular situation.  The SCC Commissioner has the final word on any questionable situation and his permission must be solicited before we are allowed to sign up anyone that lives in an area that is assigned to another member Association. Please refer to the link below for more details

2009 MINIMUM PLAY REQUIREMENTS

FOOTBALL TEAMS FOR 2009

Palos Verdes enjoyed a record number of boys and girls signing up for the 2008 season. For 2008, we fielded two teams in each tackle division and four teams in flag. The configuration is shown below.  Each tackle team may have a maximum of 32 players and a minimum of 22.  Each flag team may have a maximum of 24 players and a minimum of 12. 

We look forward to your participation for the 2009 season.

Listed below are the anticipated teams that will be fielded in 2009:

2009 WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS -- FOOTBALL

The weight and age chart for the football program is in the table below.  The age of the participant on 31 July 2009 is the reference age for this chart.  The SCC requires that players be slotted in the lowest possible division, based on age and weight.  Special dispensation from the Board is required for a younger player to participate in a higher division. (It is generally not approved as a younger player that participates in age  levels above their nominal age are at a significant disadvantage with respect to playing time and skill levels.)

Each football player receives an additional allowance of one pound per week, as the season progresses, through a maximum of 14 pounds for the total season.  On certification day, all players must make the weight  stated below.  Once that weight is met, the allowance is added for each week.

OLDER LIGHTER AGE/WEIGHT REQUIREMENT

CHEER OR DANCE SQUADS FOR 2009

For 2009, we will be offering the option to participate in dance in addition to traditional cheer.  Dance has become more popular and has recently been an option at the SCC level.   Dance squads are similar to the Song Squads at the local high schools.  They perform dance routines, but no gymnastics or stunts.  Dance supports the football teams and also performs at the competition in November in the Dance Division.  We will continue to also offer the cheer option as well.  This option is contingent on appropriate volunteers and a minimum number of girls interested in participating.

All registration forms for girls MUST identify whether they are interested in DANCE or CHEER.  Simply put either DANCE or CHEER on the top of the form and you will be slotted accordingly.

The Cheer and Dance Divisions for 2009 are listed below:

2009 AGE REQUIREMENTS -- CHEER

The age chart for the cheer program is in the table below.  The age of the participant on 31 July 2009 is the reference age for this chart.  In Palos Verdes, new and returning cheerleaders to our program will be slotted on squads using the nominal grade as stated in the table.  Special dispensation from the Board is required for a younger cheerleader to participate in a higher Division. (It is generally discouraged as a younger cheerleader that participates in grade levels above their current grade is at a significant disadvantage with respect to interpersonal and technical skill.)

FEES AND DEPOSITS FOR 2009

A Discount of $25.00 will be given for the second family member in the Program, and a Discount of $50.00 for the Third member in the Program

No refunds for any reason will be granted after July 1, 2009.

Up to July 1, 2009, refunds will be granted after deducting an administrative fee of $120.

Purchases of sweatshirts or other PV logo items are strictly optional.  The dance/cheer uniform remains a separately purchased item.  At the Uniform Fitting on (see schedule below), each participant will have the opportunity to purchase a used or new uniform.  It should be noted that Dance uniforms will be different than the cheer uniform.

PV Football and Cheer is unlike any other youth sport.  It requires a huge commitment from the participant as well as the parents.  Both football and cheer are truly a team sport.  The football games and the cheer competition 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.  August practices are 5 days per week, reducing to 3 days per week when school begins.  Families that are planning August vacations should elect not to participate in this program.  Failure to attend August practices, or to miss more than the nominal specified practices could result in dismissal from the program.  
To the individual, this may seem demanding.  However, when the team works as a unit and when the team counts on every participant to be there and ready to participate, it is the fairness to the regular attendee that tips the scales.     Please give due consideration to your level of commitment, for the benefit of your child as well as the rest of the team.
