LDFL Spring 2020 Postponed
San Diego, CA (3/13/2020) – The San Diego Silverbacks were excited to host the Santa Clarita Valley Tigers this Saturday 3/14/2020. However, protecting the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff, referees, fans, and community is paramount.
We have been in deep discussion with the LaBelle Developmental Football League (LDFL) and we have been monitoring the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak through updates from the County of San Diego, the Centers for Disease Control, and state and local health agencies.
After much discussion, the LDFL has decided to safeguard the health and well-being of all teams, owners, players, staff, referees, fans, and families, as well as media and the general public and has postponed the 2020 Spring Season in response to concerns around the COVID-19 Pandemic.
In compliance with state mandated restrictions on public events the San Diego Silverbacks regret that the remainder of our season will be postponed.
During this hiatus, the LDFL will discuss options to complete the season. They will also closely monitor the COVID-19 Pandemic along with any new developments.
The San Diego Silverbacks appreciate your ongoing and continued support. Please continue to visit our website for updates!!

About Us
Our Team
We are looking forward to an exciting 2020 Spring season after a 6-6 season in the Labelle Developmental Football League (LDFL) this Spring that ended in the second round of the semi finals!
Many of our athletes have prior experience not only in the realm of semi-professional football, but also have such great talent that they have had the opportunity to play at the championship level.
Our organization exists and functions based on partnerships with companies who provide generous sponsorships, which enables us to be the best we can possibly be. We are continually striving to be recognized as the most professional, organized, and talented developmental football team throughout San Diego County.
Our endeavors include acquiring television, newspaper, and radio coverage. Through the generosity of our sponsors, we have the ability to be fiscally responsible to our organization in order to thrive and succeed.
Sponsorships help minimize costs associated with fees for field rental, referees, practice field, uniforms, helmet decals, league association, and other ancillary costs.
The San Diego Silverbacks put forth every effort to succeed at building an exceptional organization, while partnering with our sponsors. We are an organization based on respect and integrity, that discovers, transforms, and creates a platform to showcase superior athletic talent in and around San Diego County.
