Teams are structured based on an age/weight matrix developed and enforced by Northern Virginia Youth Football League (NVYFL). This age/matrix determines which team your child will play on. Note: Unlike our internal flag football program, carpool requests are not an option. Teams are developed based on a defined age/weight matrix and we must adhere to this regulation. Therefore, it is important that you register your child in the proper age/weight division. NVYFL holds official weigh-ins that begin in the first half of August.

Age is determined by a player's age on October 1st - which we refer to as their 'football age'.  For example: If a player is 8 years old on October 1st and turns 9 on October 2nd.  Their football age is 8 and would register as an 8 year old. If the player weighs 90lbs or under, they would register for the Anklebiter division. If they weigh over 90lbs - then they would register for the 80lb division with no weight limit. To assist you with determining the proper weight class to register your child; please review the charts below.
