**REGISTRATION WILL BEGIN APPROX. MAY 1ST**
The Association of Courthouse Recreation (ACHR) provides an opportunity for the youth of Virginia Beach to play recreational football in a positive, instructive and supportive environment, with an emphasis in sportsmanship and teamwork.
The City of Virginia Beach Recreation Department has decided that they will no longer support tackle football in the city. We strongly disagree with their decision and ACHR along with several other recreation associations have joined together to offer the sport through an umbrella organization Virginia Beach Youth Tackle Football (VBYTF). Schedules and scores can be found on this site
Through this organization we are able to field 17 teams this year. Each team plays an 8 game season plus playoffs and a championship game. All registrations are through the appropriate Recreation Association. ACHR is proud to field teams in each division with 2 teams in the intermediate division. The Associations are providing all equipment except cleats and a personal protection cup.
Games are played on the two fields at the Princess Anne Annex (Old Kellam High School) which is on the corner of Nimmo Parkway and Holland Rd.
