Football Information

GYAA football is for ages 6 and up.  Divisions consist of Flag (6-7 plus older 5 year olds), Pee Wee (8-9) and Junior (10-11 plus 12 year olds who are not 13 by Dec. 1st AND are not in the 7th grade).  The age cut-off for football is Aug 1st.  All players in Pee Wee and Juniors must be weighed to enforce league weight limits as well as more strict weight limits for those eligible to run the ball. 

Online registration for 2008 football is closed.  Please contact the GYAA office to inquire about late registration.

Weights and weigh-in procedures have been changed for 2008.  Pee Wee players must be 145 pounds or less to play and 90 pounds or less to be eligible to run the ball.  Junior players must be 160 pounds or less to play and 110 pounds or less to run the ball.  Players must make these weights at a pre-season and a mid-season weigh-in (the latter weigh-in has a growth allowance of 5 pounds for Pee Wee and 10 pounds for Juniors).

Each year, instructional clinics, conditioning week, player evaluations and draft occur in late July and early August.  Practices begin the second week of August and games run from August to early November.  Registration for the Fall 2008 football season will open in May.
