Registration Open for Spring 2013 Youth Tackle Football, Ages 7-14

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. Register online here.


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.
