Running Backs and Quarterbacks: Players are eligible without restrictions to play these positions who weigh (without equipment less than or equal to the following
weights:

  • 6th Grade: 125 lbs.
  • 7th Grade: 150 lbs
  • 8th Grade: 175 lbs

Players over the playing weights listed above can play quarterback with a restriction at 6th and 7th grade. The restriction is that they are not allowed to advance the ball past the line of scrimmage. The play will be blown dead immediately once they cross the line.

An offensive end that exceeds the weight restriction may advance the ball only by catching a forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Upon receiving a forward pass, any offensive player who exceeds weight restriction may run (advance) the ball. Play will be blow dead when an ineligible offensive player has the ball.

Punters/Kickers: A player of any weight can be used; however, a kicker exceeding the weight limit rule outlined in Rule 3.2 may not advance the ball by run or pass.
