The NJFL adheres to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) rules, except as modified by the NJFL.
NJFL divisions are organized by age and weight with five levels of play for ages 7-14. This is the most common approach in youth football and has been for decades.

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a bump or blow to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Even what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.
To help ensure the health and safety of young athletes, CDC developed the “Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports” initiative to offer information about concussions—a type of traumatic brain injury—to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports. The “Heads Up” initiative provides important information on preventing, recognizing, and responding to a concussion.
