All SciCoh players must adhere to the OCYFL weight limit regulations. These are put into place and regularly reviewed for player safety. It is a league requirement for every player to weigh in before each game. The weight limit increases by one pound each week of the season. Please refer to the OCYFL Weight Regulations for complete weight limit information for each grade level.

WEEK/GAME #1 WEIGHT LIMIT:

Mites: Grades 2/3/4 - 119 max weight

Pee Wees: Grades 5/6 - 144 max weight

Midgets: Grades 7/8 - 185 max weight

*Please note weights assume:

• 8 lbs of equipment for Mites and Peewees 10 lbs of equipment for Midgets.

• There is a 1 (one) pound increase allowance added to the max weight limit each week as the season progresses.

GAME DAY WEIGH-IN: Every football player (on both teams) is required to weigh in before each game. This typically happens 30 minutes prior to the scheduled game start time. Per OCYFL By-Laws, if a player misses the weigh-in procedure or does not meet the max weight limit for that week, they are disqualified from that day’s gameplay. No players or coaches are allowed in the weigh-in area, only each team’s trained weigh-in official is allowed. Every player must be in their game gear (helmets removed) at the weigh-in. Every team uses an OCYFL-certified and calibrated scale as outlined in the OCYFL By-Laws.

Players are expected to maintain healthy eating and hydration habits. Do not come to practices or games hungry and dehydrated. If a player’s weight becomes a concern for game participation, it is expected to be addressed appropriately and healthily.
