Each team’s coaches may decide to alter the number of practices and times etc… there are league rules about the number of practices that can be held prior to the first game and once school starts. As the season progresses, practice times will be adjusted for earlier sunsets. The first three practices of the season are “helmets only” so your child will not need to wear their pads.

Pictures – Team and Individual Pictures, Tuesday, September 15th

Players should come wearing their game jerseys over their shoulder pads, black game pants including pads and have their helmets available for the pictures. Bring practice jerseys to change into for practice following pictures.

The Dane County Youth Football League requires each player that participates in the football program have his or her weight recorded. Team times will be announced later.

Weight Limits – For safety reasons, players exceeding the listed weight for their grade receive a star for their helmet and are limited in the positions they are allowed to play.

4th grade = 95 lbs                5th grade = 105 lbs          6th grade = 115 lbs

7th grade = 130 lbs              8th grade = 150 lbs
