Welcome to Sea King Football.

Welcome to Sea King Football.  We feel our program is both challenging and rewarding, as we strive to do our best on and off the field.  Our program has participated in 4 CIF Championships since 2012, winning 2 Titles.  Our 2022 Team put forth a strong effort with a tough schedule- earning an undefeated Bay League Title and battling into the quarter finals of the Division 3 Playoffs.  We thank our Seniors for continuing and adding to the legacy of hard work and playing for each other.  We wish them the very best and look forward to their visits- as we do all Sea King alumni.

Our Lower-levels continued their success, as the JV Team finished 8-1 and the Freshmen concluded another strong season with a victory over our rivals on the Hill- all while learning the fundamentals of Sea King Football.  Please know that in order to participate in Freshmen Football, experience is helpful, but certainly NOT necessary.  We invite all incoming 9^th graders to be part of the Sea King Family- learn the game, work hard, and have a positive TEAM experience.

Our 2023 schedule will once again be challenging, including CIF powers St. Joseph, Corona Del Mar, and Edison, City power Banning, and the always strong Bay League.

We are excited and looking forward to being the best that we can be.

Palos Verdes Football 2023…ALL IN ONE!

Go Sea Kings!
Sincerely,
Guy Gardner, Head Coach
