The Bulldogs are excited to announce the addition of the Capital Beltway Football League to our family! Unlike the Charles County League, the Capital Beltway League offers a much broader weight to age matrix which accommodates more players and allows for much more uniform teams when it comes to ages. Some of the key advantages of the CBL are:
- No boundry restrictions - Any one from any County or club can play for the Bulldogs in this league.
- Cut of age date is August 1st which allows those that are turning 15 after that date and even going into 9th grade to play.
- Games are played by high school federation rules.
- Post season games are held at the college stadiums.
- State championship at M&T stadium.
The Capital Beltway League also provides four times the amount of teams per division and a much higher level of competition then Charles County can provide. With all of this along with player exposure to high school coaches throughout Maryland and Post Season Play at some of the most prestigious football stadiums in Maryland, why would you want to play anywhere else?
The Westlake Bulldogs / Capital Beltway League is open to ALL Charles, Southern PG, Calvert and St. Mary’s County residents. There are NO boundaries within Charles, Calvert or St. Mary’s County that will dictate who can or who cannot play for Westlake in this league!
The Westlake Bulldog – Capital Beltway League Offering is geared for children ages 6 through 15, from the novice to the most experienced players that want to play youth tackle football in a competitive environment. The season runs from August through December with post season playoff bracketed game followed by the super bowl, which is held at one of Maryland’s most prestigious college stadiums and followed by the Maryland State championship game held at M&T stadium.
