If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat. - Herschel Walker

 

 

Teams are organized by age and weight with five levels of play for ages 7-14. This is the most common approach in junior football and has been so for decades. Other leagues may not have weight restrictions and may offer fewer levels of play. Our approach increases participation opportunities and safety for all players.

Here are our five levels of play and the age and weight information:

AgeWeight

 * Age is the players age as of August 31st*
