Why It Matters for SoCal Families
The San Diego Bowl gives Southern California teams another major tournament date to track before the fall. For parents comparing youth flag football options and coaches looking at upcoming flag football tournaments, the listing is useful because it combines boys, girls, youth and high school divisions at one of the region's most recognizable training venues.
The iFlag event page labels the broader San Diego Bowl weekend as a regional qualifier and an open-invite tournament. The youth registration page focuses the youth divisions on Sunday, Sept. 13, while the broader weekend runs Sept. 11-13 and includes adult divisions as well.
Divisions and Eligibility
The youth registration page lists boys and girls divisions at 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U and high school. It also says athlete age is based on the player's age on Jan. 1, 2026, which is an important detail for families deciding which division fits before registering.
The listing also notes that athletes need an active ZortsID, coaches need an active ZortsID for Coaches, and eligibility requirements must be completed by Sept. 11, 2026 at 11:55 p.m. PDT to avoid a listed late fee. Coaches should confirm roster rules, ID-card requirements and check-in timing directly in Zorts before committing a team.
Registration Notes
The youth registration page lists the team cost at $425 and says registration ends Aug. 28, 2026 at 11:55 p.m. Teams holding a spot with a deposit are told to pay the balance by Aug. 21, while teams registering after that date must be paid in full by Aug. 28.
Because tournament details can change as divisions fill, families and coaches should verify the final schedule, division availability, roster requirements and payment rules with iFlag and Zorts before registering or booking travel.
