The San Benito Seahawks (formerly the San Benito Cardinals) of American Youth Football will hold “early bird” registration for the 2011 season on Saturday, Jan. 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Safeway in Hollister.
Those interested can make a $25 deposit on Jan. 29, which will hold a roster spot for the 2011 season. The final fees will be $25 less than normal registration for those who do make the deposit.
The Seahawks is a youth football organization for players age 6 to 15. The team plays within the Mountain Desert Region of the NorCal Conference, and competes against programs like Oak Grove and Palo Alto.
The 2009 junior pee team advanced to nationals after being named NorCal champions.
Practices for the Seahawks begin in late July, with games beginning in September. The program practices at Gabilan Hills School in Hollister, and plays all its home games at Anzar High in San Juan Bautista.
