Welcome to Sea King Football.

We feel so fortunate and blessed to have had a “2020” Football Season.  I want to congratulate and thank all the players, coaches and parents on staying the course these past 11 months, as we prepared the only way we know how, and that’s one practice, one play at a time!   

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, earning 2 titles.  Most recently, our Varsity completed our shortened “2020” season with a 4-2 record.  Our JV Team was able to play 3 games, and our Freshmen Team won 5 of 6 Games, including an undefeated run through The Bay League, 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 9th graders who want to learn the game, work hard, and have a positive TEAM experience. 

Our Fall 2021 schedule is very challenging, including San Diego Mission Hills, Corona del Mar, Edison, Banning, and Inglewood followed by the always tough Bay League.   

We would like to once again recognize and thank this year’s players- especially the seniors- the class of 2021– for their amazing dedication, work-ethic, togetherness, and inspiration in preparing for a season that was unknown.  Your commitment of Doing What WE Do, with as much EFFORT as WE CAN during these tough times is a legacy that will light the way for Sea Kings for years to come. 

Palos Verdes Football 2021…Be There! 

Go Sea Kings!

Sincerely,
Guy Gardner, Head Coach
