Spring 2025 Waitlist is Open. 

FNL is finalizing our spring field permits so they know how many additional kids on the waitlist may be able to play. FNL will be reaching out to our waitlist players over the next few weeks as space becomes available. If you, or if you know someone that is able to coach a team this spring, please let FNL know as there may be immediate team placement for your child. To be placed on the waitlist, please email santabarbarafnl@gmail.com

Team Building

FNL is working on building over 130+ teams during the month of January. Team Rosters should be completed by the end of the month.

Coaches Meetings

FNL will be hosting several coaches meetings (new & returning) between 1/25-1/30. Players should hear from their coach by the beginning of February. All coaches should plan to attend 1 meeting to discuss the spring season, meet our staff, talk to our refs and review our rules & regulations. Coaches will also be provided their team footballs, flags and belts at these meetings.

Team Practice

Once coaches receive their team roster, 1 practice a week may begin. Most teams will begin to practice early February. Most teams will have 2-3 practices before their first game.

Opening FNL Weekend

FNL Games are scheduled to begin the weekend of February 28th.

FNL Fields This Spring

All games this Spring at FNL will take place locally on Fridays and Sundays between February 28th - May 2nd. All teams will play 8 games before heading to playoffs so your child is not playing every Friday night and Sunday. Team game schedule will be available a couple of weeks before the season starts.  Coaches will be allowed to request 1-2 byes during the season.  FNL does not play during the weekend of Spring Break (3/28-3/30).  Exciting multi-million dollar renovations are taking place on Santa Barbara city park fields which will limit our field access for Friday nights this season.  All teams/players must be able to play on Sundays.
