PLAYER IDENTIFICATION (DMV CHILD ID)

All players are required to have a valid, unexpired Child ID issued by the DMV for his/her official weigh-in held in August. The DMV Child ID will be the ONLY form of ID accepted at the official weigh-in. Therefore, we recommend that you take the necessary steps to obtain the ID as soon as possible. The closer it gets to weigh-in the tougher it becomes to obtain the ID in time for the weigh-ins. Here is the link to the DMV website for more info: DMV Child ID Link

IDENTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION

Each player must obtain a Player Identification Card. The card will be required as an official player identification at all NVYFL Weigh-Ins and upon demand by the NVYFL Standards and Rules Committee pursuant to executing the Committee's official duties.

Player Identification Card shall be the sole allowable proof of age in determining a player's eligibility.

Suppose at any time during the season, a protest is filed against a player. In that case, the Commissioner and Head Coach of the player against whom the protest has been lodged shall attend the NVYFL Standards and Rules Committee Meeting or Weigh-In, as specified, with the Player Identification Card.

 

OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND/OR RULES

• A player will have only one chance to make his weight. Once he steps on an official scale and is found overweight, he must move up to the proper higher-weight class. A player who cannot move to a higher weight class, either because their league does not file a higher weight class team or because they fall outside the boundaries of the weigh-in requirements for any class, may be allowed a second weigh-in at a time and place designated by the Standards and Rules Committee Vice-Chairman.
• There will be no waivers for weight.
• All players must be officially weighed in to become eligible for NVYFL competition.
• All youth registered with one organization become a member of that organization's team roster at the time of their official Weigh-In and cannot be transferred to another organization's team during the football season and post-season.
• Youth shall wear gym shorts or bathing suits at a minimum. Youth shall wear only one pair of shorts (or bathing suit), a t-shirt, and socks as a maximum. No long pants, coats, shoes, football uniforms, or heavier garments will be allowed.
