We are members of the GCYFL football conference. Game time/location scheduling is released by GCYFL the week of August 18, 2025. North Valley does not have any control over the scheduling or any modifications made by the conference. Please note that game times/location will vary per division. Siblings in different divisions will most likely not be scheduled to play at the same location on game day. Please plan accordingly.

 

GCYFL Jamboree will be held on August 9, 2025. Each team will participate in 2-3 short scrimmages in order to be rated by the GCYFL officials. These ratings will place teams in either the National (Division 1) or American (Division 2) Leagues in order to maintain competitiveness. 

​

Each player will have a minimum number of plays they must participate in each game. 

​

There are several local teams in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valley, as well as teams as far as Santa Barbara, so please be prepared to travel for away games. Each team will have approximately
