2020 AGE AND WEIGHT LIMITSLTYA will offer programs in the Mighty Mite, Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee weight controlled divisions.
AGES & WEIGHTS
Leagues have options with how to structure their program. While leagues can continue the current structure where a player is placed in a division based on his or her age and weight they may also instead choose to register players based on age only. Currently, an estimated 75-80% of youth football nationally follows an age-only structure.
