The NYFL rules committee has passed a new weight and division breakdown for the upcoming season.  The new breakdown, groups the players into two year increments.  This new configuration should help reduce the amount of players within our middle divisions and allow for more manageable teams.  The breakdowns are as follows:

Pee-Wee             6-7 year olds up to 80 lbs. (dob as of 7/31)

Jr Freshmen       8-9 year olds up to 100 lbs. (dob as of 7/31)

Freshmen           10-11 year olds up to 120 lbs. (dob as of 7/31)

Jr. Varsity            12-13 year olds up to 145 lbs. (dob as of 7/31)

Unlike previous seasons, there are no waiver players or bi-weekly weight increases.  WJF will have a new developmental football division (Pee-Wee) which will focus on core values and positioning.
