The Central Lincoln County YMCA will hold a registration night for the 2018 Football League for grades 1-8 on Aug. 1 from 5-6 p.m. at the CLC YMCA, 525 Main Street, Damariscotta.

The youth league consists of four divisions: Pee Wee for players entering the first or second grades only (exceptions may be made for incoming kindergartners); Junior Varsity for players entering third and fourth grades, ages 8-11 years; Varsity for players entering fifth and sixth grades, aging from 10-13 years; and 7/8 grade for players entering the seventh and eighth grades, playing an independent schedule for the 2018 season.

Proof of players age is required by the league; the date of the age limit is Aug. 1.

Kids must play for the team corresponding with the town in which they attend school. Youth who do not attend public school must play for the team that corresponds with their primary residence.

Team practices can begin the week of Aug. 13, but no earlier. Practices and games will be held at Great Salt Bay School. Cost is $80 for YMCA Members and $100 for nonmembers. In addition to the registration night, online registration is available at clcymca.org or by calling the front desk at 563-9622.
