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 5 CIF Championships since 2012, winning 3 Titles. Our 2024 Team won the CIF Division 5 Title as well as our school’s first ever Regional and California Division 2A State Title- competing in 16 total games. We’d like to thank our seniors for all they accomplished- showing the younger players how to work hard and providing leadership in bringing them all together to EARN the ultimate TEAM Goal. 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 went 5-3 including 4-0 in Bay League, and our Freshmen went 7-3 through a very tough schedule, winning all their League games-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 to be part of the Sea King Family- learn the game, work hard, and have a positive TEAM experience. Freshmen Head Coach Tommy Draffen and staff do a great job of guiding them to do their best on and off the field.

Our 2025 Schedule will be very challenging, including games against perennial powerhouse Serra High School of Gardena, State Champion Edison High School, City power Banning, and our very tough Bay League.

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

Palos Verdes Football 2025…Getting After It!

Go Sea Kings!
Sincerely,
Guy Gardner, Head Coach
