HOW ARE THE TEAMS SELECTED FOR POST-SEASON TOURNAMENT PLAY?
The winning Super Bowl coach in each division will coach the tournament team. If that coach is unable to perform this duty, it will fall to the second place team, then third, etc.
These tournaments will be played throughout November. The coach selects the tournament team with input from other coaches in the division. The coach is responsible for his own tournament team coaching staff. The fee to participate, collected at All Star registration, covers the new uniform that each player will be given. The fees to play in each All Star tournament is self-funded by the team either through sponsorships or a collection among the parents to divide the cost of the tournaments.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE COMBINE TRYOUT?
Players are weighed and measured and will be fitted for their uniforms.
Each player will then try out in front of all of the coaches of his division. In the try-out, the players are required to run a timed 40 yard dash, run a timed agility test, attempt to catch a football thrown by a coach, throw a football to a coach, and tackle a tackling dummy. Additional drills may be implemented.
Before the players are dismissed, the coaches have an opportunity to ask each player a few questions about their athletic experience. Each coach then evaluates the players based on their own criteria. At the end of tryouts the coaches draw for draft position.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO THE COMBINE TRYOUTS AND HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?
Players are encouraged to wear T-shirt, socks, and football cleats. Tryouts usually last about one hour.
WHO ARE THE COACHES?
All of the coaches are volunteers. Most have previous football coaching and/or playing experience. Many of the coaches have coached in the SCFL in the past. The coaches go through a screening and evaluation process by the Board of Directors in an effort to find the most qualified coaches. This is not an easy job. If you have prior coaching and/or playing experience, please let us know. We are always looking for individuals who are willing to share their time to develop the youth of our community.
