Early Sign-Up

Practice with your team early and often. When you sign up for our league early, it gives us time to form teams well before games start—so players can get plenty of practices in together. Already have a team that’s been playing together for a long time? You’re all welcome to join our league as a team!

Join the SBFFA Team

We’re still looking for volunteers to help during games this season. We’re looking for coaches, snack stand helpers, and especially referees (ages 15+). Head to our Volunteer Info page to review roles and sign up.

Our coaching philosophy is built on safety, sportsmanship, and technical mastery. We believe that a strong foundation in flag football starts with certified professionals who prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of every child on the field.

USA Football Partnership

We are proud to announce that the Santa Barbara Flag Football Academy is officially enrolled with USA Football. This partnership ensures that all SBFFA coaches and referees are USA Football certified, bringing elite-level expertise and safety standards to our league.

Our curriculum is designed to develop athletes for high school, collegiate, and even national-level competition. Through this enrollment, our players gain exclusive access to USA Football Talent ID camps—offering unique opportunities to be scouted for premier invitation-only events like Accelerator, Select Bowl, and Stars & States.
