Teams are divided by age as well as weight to provide the safest playing, learning and
teaching environments.

Age & Weight Chart (Weight Applies to Football Players Only)

Please Note the Weight Limits above are IDENTICAL to Pop Warner. The only difference is that 9 lbs Pop Warner allows players to gain during the season (i.e., 1lb per week) is instead allowed up front by American Youth Football (the National Association to which NYF&C belongs). With that said, AYF does not provide the 1lb per week allowance. As a result, both national associations end up with the same weight limits by season end. If you have any questions, please feel to contact our Athletic Director.

*The asterisked (*) provisions in each division allow the so-called "older but lighter" player to also qualify. The last year of eligibility falls under more stringent weight restrictions, per above.

A child's age on July 31 is his/her age for the season.
