AGE/WEIGHT
DIVISIONS
In order to ensure both the safety of the players and the competitive fairness
of the league, children of similar ages and weights are assigned to teams.
A provision called older/lighter provides a category in which a football player
one year older than the maximum age for a particular division can play in that
division if that player's weight is significantly lower than the normal maximum
for that group.
Prior to each
football game, a "weigh master", using a standardized weight,
tests the scales for accuracy, and checks the weight of all players, checking
their names off against an official roster.
Age is as of July 31st. No exceptions.
There is no "minimum weight" per se...but any child under 60 lbs may wish to talk to the coach.
