What league does Broncos football participate in? Are there weight limits?

The Broncos compete in the Nassau County Youth Football League, which consists of single age, weight-limit divisions.  There is a preseason town weigh-in in August (no equipment - just cleats, shorts, and t-shirt), and then players are weighed in before each game with equipment on (no helmets).  Please see the 2019 weight limits below.

Age (age as of 12/1/2019)

Preseason Weight Limits

7 year olds (90 lbs)

8 year olds (100 lbs)

9 year olds (110 lbs)

10 year olds (120 lbs)

11 year olds (130 lbs)

The game day weight limit is the same as above, plus 10 pounds (accounts for equipment).

 

For 5/6 year olds, the following is from the 2018 NCYFL Rule Book:

1 a. There is NO growth allowance in the Six Year Old Division.

b. In addition to the Division weight specified in Rule 2.2 of the NCYFL Playing Rules, two (2) players will be allowed on the roster at a weight of 75 pounds.

c. These “heavy” players will be given uniform and scale allowances equal to all other players, and will be permitted to play in all games for which they make weight at their increased allowance.

d. “Heavy” players will be designated on the official roster and shall be issued a jersey number of 90 or higher. “Heavy” players are permitted to only play offensive line or quarterback. They may not carry the football.

e. If a “heavy” player should make weight at the 65 pound weight limit (plus uniform and scale allowance) for any game, he will be permitted to play any position.

f. Therefore, the scale settings for the 6 year old division are as follows:

85lbs. – 2 designated heavy players

75lbs. – all other players
