For the 2008 season, the county again has a league with high school freshmen and some sophomores in mind.

Due in part to increased participation and continued budget restrictions, often high schools are forced to cut large numbers of players. Even with these cuts, several high schools carry too many players to ever reasonably give playing time or sometimes even suit up.

This league is designed to work with the high schools, providing an alternative place to play in the event they do not make the high school team.

It is also designed for players that may have no desire to pursue the level of high school ball but want to extend their recreational football playing experience.

This league is unique from all others.

• 13, 14 and 15 year old 8th, 9th and 10th graders are eligible for this league provided they do not turn 16 prior to the end of 2008. No 16 year olds are allowed.
• There is no weight limit.
• There is no minimum play rule.
• There are only 8 games
• The Green Hornets with the Severna Park High School’s coaching staff will design the offensive and defensive play structure and practice regime to be similar to that of the high school. This will allow a quicker and more expected transition should players plan to continue at the high school level the following year.
• Green Hornets players must meet the same eligibility requirements as would be required by the high school.
• Severna Park High school coaches will be actively involved with the Green Hornets coaching staff through out the season.
