MANDATORY PRACTICE Practices begin on August 1st and there are typically 5 practices for 2.5 hours each thruough Labor Day. The first 2 weeks are particularly critical as each player is requried to meet specifc conditioning and practice with pads requirements before they can participate in contact drills, scrimmages and games.
VACATION POLICY
PalosVerdesYouth Football and Cheer has an established vacation policy: - Attendance at August practice is MANDATORY, unless excused by the Head Coach (preferably inwriting).
- Unexcused absences at practice in excess of three may cause the player to be dropped from the team.
- Attendance at football games is MANDATORY. Unexcused absences for more than two games will cause
the participant to be dropped from the team. - Academic school functions have priority over PV Football practice or games. No participant shall be penalized
in any form for participation in school‐sponsored events. (Cotillion is NOT anacademic school‐sponsored event.)
Families who are planning August vacations should elect NOT to participate in our program. To the individual, this may seem demanding. However, when the team works as a unit and when the team counts on every participant to be there and ready to participate, it is the fairness to the regular attendee that tips the scales. Due to the safety of ALL our participants, please give due consideration to your level of commitment, for the benefit of your child as well as the rest of the team.
MINIMUM PLAY REQUIREMENTS:The minimum tackle participant play, per game, is based on the eligible players at the time of certification of the team prior to the start of the game and is as follows:
Jr. Pee Wee thru ages 13/14 years: 16-25 players - 10 plays 26-30 players - 8 plays 31-35 players - 6 plays Mitey Mites ONLY: 16-25 players - 12 plays 26-30 players - 10 plays 31-35 players - 8 plays WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS The weight and age chart for the football program is in the table below.The age of the participant on 31 July of Playing Year is the reference age for this chart.
It is recommended that players be slotted in the lowest possible division, based on age and weight. A younger player that participates in age levels above their nominal age are at a significant disadvantage with respect to playing time, skill levels and maturity.
Each football player receives an additional allowance of one pound every week, as the season progresses, through a maximum of 6 pounds for the total season. On certification day, all players must make the weight of the division they are playing. Once that weight is met, the allowance is added every week after the first official game of the season.
Note: This year the age and weighted divisions will be at the Mitey Mite and Junior Pee Wee level (ages 7 through 11). The upper divisions will be based on age only for 11/12 and 13/14 year olds.
