The clinics are a chance for team captains to evaluate your abilities as you participate in the skill stations so they can develop their player draft order. These are not tryouts, as everyone who wants to participate and pays the league fee will be drafted to a team. You must attend one of the clinics in order to be eligible for the draft. You will fill out your registration forms and pay your league fee here. Football or soccer cleats are strongly recommended. February 13—Draft and Draft Party: Once both clinics are completed, the
12 team captains will go into a private setting and draft their teams from all the players available. To be eligible to be drafted you must have participated in a least one of the two clinics (preferably both) and have paid your league fee. Once the draft is complete, the league will conduct a draft party where all the teams are announced and you will have your first chance to meet your new teammates. League fee is $100—this fee pays for your team jersey (yours to keep), a
league t-shirt, referee fees and field costs. Games will be played at Doyle Recreation Center in La Jolla. For more information about the SDAFFL 2011 season, visit
