Team Rosters: Coaches will do a draft on August 9th .  All rosters will be final at the conclusion of the draft and no changes will be allowed.

Weight Requirements - The maximum weight limit for any player to receive a hand-off or pass from scrimmage is 150 pounds (11-12), 125 pounds (9-10), and 100 pounds (7-8). Any player ineligible to carry the ball must wear a red stripe (unless a team has red helmets and then the stripe will be white) diagonally on the back of their helmet. Players who exceed the maximum weight are ineligible to run the ball. They must play as a down lineman and line up tackle to tackle on the line of scrimmage in a 3- or 4-point stance. Coaches will be responsible for maintaining the stripes and making sure players are in the correct playing position. If lined up incorrectly, there will be a 5-yard penalty. Players with striped helmets are eligible to punt and kick on kickoffs/field goal attempts.

Equipment Distribution – The PSA will provide a game jersey for each player.  PSA will also provide one helmet and one pair of shoulder pads that must be returned at the end of the season.  A parent or guardian must sign out the equipment at the time detailed below and is responsible for returning it to the PSA at the end of the season or paying the replacement fee. The check out form will explain the cost of replacement for not returning equipment.  Any player who does not return equipment will not be able to sign up for any future sports until the replacement fee is paid. Distribution will take place at the Recreation Center Community Room for each age group at the times listed below.
