2022 CTYFL Junior Tackles Runner Up

Our team divisions based on age, not weight except for PeeWee Tackle.   The division a player is placed in will be based on their age as of 07/31/22.

Divisions

PeeWee Tackle (Player Age 5-6; weight 75 lbs and under)

Rookie Tackle (Player Age 7-8)

Junior Tackle (Player Age 9-10)

Senior Tackle (Player Age 11-12)

Varsity Tackle (Player Age 13)

The Junior and Senior Divisions have no weight limits.

All games are on Saturdays according to age, starting with Flag teams, then the Juniors, and finally the Seniors. Some Senior games may be played in the evening.

How big are the teams?

Team size in the tackle divisions will be 18 with a possible max of 25 if we only have one team. Teams must split if they have 26 or more players. 

Our idea is smaller teams means more one to one coaching, more playing time for each child, and more time to focus on fundamentals.

What are the financial obligations?

(If there are restriction due to COVID and you prepay full refunds will be given before uniforms are ordered in July)

What are you paying for?

Tackle Registration Cost includes: practice field usage, game day fields and personnel uniforms (game day jersey, pants with pads and socks), insurance and admin fees. 

When does practice begin?

All teams are allowed to start practicing August 1st.  This is the hottest time of the year so it is important that you attend practice as soon as possible.  The first week we are without pad and getting the players accustomed to the heat with conditioning and drills after a long summer.  We start working on the fundamentals of tackling as well, so when a player misses they may miss a big part of their learning and will have to catch up.  Players cannot practice unless they have their physical completed.
