Tackle Football Specific AGE AND WEIGHT Information
The Manassas Youth Football League's Tackle Football Program participates as a member of the Fairfax County Youth Football League (FCYFL) and the FCYFL's football regulations require that the child is 7 years old to begin playing in the Ankle biter division. Divisions in tackle are designated by age and weight. Children can play up to 16 years old.
Team placement is determined during an evaluation period held during the first 5 to 7 days of practice because FCYFL has 3 competitive levels in every level except Ankle Biters and the 150 pound weight class: American (ultra competitive); Central (more experienced ball players or when we field 1 team); and National (less experienced, younger, or lighter players). Player weight class placement will be determined when the player is weighed during gear distribution. To estimate which weight group your child will be placed in you can follow the table below:

The Fairfax County Youth Football League subscribes to a participation rule that requires each child to have a starting position on offense or defense. We try to keep our team size in the range of 15 to 18 kids to allow for the most playing opportunity.
