GREEN HORNETS FOOTBALL: AGE/WEIGHT STRUCTURE
Tackle football is open to boys and girls from 6 to 15 years old. “Stingers” Flag football is open to boys and girls ages 5 and 6.
We plan to offer multiple age/weighted teams for 6 – 10 year olds at the 70lb, 80lb ,90lb & 100lb levels.
For children aged 11 - 15 we offer unlimited weight teams at the 11U, 12U, 13U and 15U level.
Birth Certificates /Age:
All players must provide a copy of their birth certificate. It will need to be turned in at equipment handout. A September 1st cutoff is used for all leagues with the exception of the 70lb league that uses calendar year and December 31st.
2010 age and weight structure is listed on chart below.
UNLIMITED TEAMS
Unlimited teams utilize age AND grade guidelines with no weight limit.
Players at these levels are assigned to an age group based on birth date during the electronic registration. After review if grade does not coincide with assigned age group, they are moved manually in database by commissioner to align with intended grade.
11 Unlimited is intended for 6th graders, 12 Unlimited is intended for 7th graders and 13 Unlimited is intended for 8th graders.
Weighted Teams
Players may not exceed weight for age assigned class at pre-season approved county weigh in to play in that league.
- For example, the league referred to as the 80lb level, an age assigned player may not exceed 80lbs at time of weigh in to be eligible for that league.
For weighted leagues, if a player exceeds the weight listed for their specific age group, they are eligible to play up a maximum of two weight classes.
- For example a player, that by age, should play for the 80lb level can play up to the 100lb level if weight necessitates it, but not further.
Weigh-In: does not pertain to Unlimited & Fresh Soph leagues
- ALL PLAYERS AT WEIGHTED LEVELS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND & PASS, ONE OF THREE COUNTY WEIGH INS OR THEY CANNOT PLAY.
- The first is scheduled July 31st. Second weigh in is scheduled for August 15th, and the final weigh in is set for the 1st of September.
- If the child does not make weight for the roster to which they were originally assigned, a decision has to be made to decide if the player will attempt to make weight again or be moved up to the next weight class.
If the player opts to attempt weigh in at the “Final” weigh in, he will miss the first 2 regular season games and if he fails, he is not eligible to play at all.
Season Weight Gain & Playoffs: does not pertain to Unlimited & Fresh Soph leagues.
In-Season -
A player is allowed 5lbs for growth during the season. If an opposing team disputes a player’s weight. He/she cannot exceed class weight by more than 5lbs. (Ex. A player in the 90lb class cannot exceed 95.9 during the season.)
Post-Season-
Each player must be weight certified prior to playing in the Post Season. The players are given an additional 5lbs for growth. (Ex. A player in the 90lb class cannot exceed 100.9lbs to participate in the playoffs.)

Grade listed on chart serves as a guideline based on current AA County Public schools date of entrance and may not coincide with everyone.
Players at the weighted levels are strongly urged to play in an age group recommended for their son’s grade.
Players at the unlimited level are assigned by grade prior to tryouts.
As has always been Hornets’ Policy, Players only play “up” if weight or grade alignment is an issue.
There is not a choice otherwise.
