About the provider
Santa Barbara Youth Football League was envisioned in 1971 by Jim Halliburton. In the last 50 years, about 20,000 players have played for the league. Its stated mission is to teach youth the values of commitment, teamwork, sportsmanship, endurance, physical conditioning, leadership, and a winning spirit.
You do not register for a division. Divisions are assigned based on age and league guidelines. We are waitlisting at 23 players per team. Once a team reaches 23 players, 12-14 year old as of 7/31 will need to register on the waitlist. We will most likely have two teams for the older divisions.
