Football players are divided by age and weight. 7 year old's wishing to play tackle must have NYFL approval and sign a waiver. 9 year old's who are unable to make weight for Freshman Division can play in the JV Division under their weight limits, but must also sign a waiver and receive NYFL approval. 12 year old's are able to play as long as they are in the 6th grade and won't turn 13 on or before Dec. 1st of the current year. Check NYFL.net for more details or contact us for more information.
Those playing under "X-man" rules must only weigh in with Natural Weight (no pads) and are only allowed to be positioned on offensive or defensive line between the tackle positions.
Football teams will compete for a chance to make it to the post season. If they advance through the play-offs, they will compete for the NYFL Championship in the Super Bowl.
