RULES FOR 2009
 
2nd & 3rd Grade

Stop time will be implemented for the 2nd & 3rd Grade league in the same format as the 4th Grade league and above.  Stop time will be used for the following instances:  

  • Incompleted pass

  • Running out of bounds

  • After a touchdown

  • Moving of down markers

 Teams will be allowed to practice up to 4 times each week for the first two weeks of the season and then back to 3 times a week including games after that.

4th Grade

 One coach will be allowed on the field for the first two weeks of the season.

Weight Limits

                 The following weight limits will be used for 2009:

·           2nd & 3rd Grade: 80 pounds in shorts or 85 pounds with all equipment on.

·           4thGrade: 95 pounds in shorts or 100 pounds with all equipment on.

·           5th Grade: 105 pounds in shorts or 110 pounds with all equipment on.

·           6th Grade: 115 pounds in shorts or 120 pounds with all equipment on.

Players that are too heavy to carry the ball under the guidelines for each league will be identified with a blue Dot taped to the back of their helmet.  This is to eliminate confusion over which players are eligible to carry the ball and which players are not.

 Game Times

 For the 2009 schedule, start times for the early games will be 6:15pm and for the late games 7:45pm.

Game Length / Time

 Grades 2nd through 6th: These games consist of four 12 minute modified stop time quarters, with the last 2 minutes of each half being stop time.  Modified stop time means clock should stop for: change of possession, extra point attempts, penalties, injuries, or measurements. In the last two minutes, time can be stopped for: incomplete pass, running out of bounds, after a touchdown is scored or for the moving of down markers.

 Grades 7th & 8th (NSFL) –  These games consist of four 10 minute stop time quarters, except the referee will start the clock when the chains are set after a change in possession, unless the clock has been stopped for another reason.
