To teach basic fundamentals of the game of football. To provide a safe and healthful environment in which youth may experience the fun of playing football. To provide a forum in which youth, through the experience of the game, can apply and demonstrate the skills they have learned through practice. To provide leagues made up of teams that are as equal in age, size, and skill as much as possible. To involve adults in helping achieve the above purposes, whether as coaches, advisors, officials, fans, concession workers, timekeepers, etc. SECTION B - LEAGUE STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION I. The league shall be divisional by age and weight, with four divisions, structured as follows: All weights will be rounded down to the nearest pound. Ex will be 120.

Each head coach shall be required to attend one pre-season league meeting and any and all other meetings deemed necessary by the league. Failure to attend the meetings without proper request for a representative to attend on the head coach s behalf may result in that coach losing his privilege to coach for the season. I No coach is allowed to pull his team off of the field and stop play for any reason whatsoever. Coaches removing their teams from the field shall have the game forfeited, shall be suspended for the remainder of the season, and any other penalty as sanctioned by the Midwest Youth Football League. All coaches and players will, in the interest of GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, shake hands with the opposing team and coaching staff at the end of each game.

(Officials will address coaches in a properly courteous manner also.) 5) Due to the nature of this league (youth football) and what we are trying to teach our youth (good sportsmanship, on and off the field), we will practice ZERO TOLERANCE; that is, a coach or assistant coach ejected from a game will be suspended from coaching for the remainder of the season and the entire next season. They must sit out the entire next season before they are eligible to apply for reinstatement. After this period, the following procedure will apply for reinstating a banned coached. Any program which is a member of the Midwest Youth Football League that makes a decision to reinstate a suspended coach under this rule, must write a letter of 2
3 recommendation to the MYFL Mini Board, which must approve the reinstatement. If the Board does not approve reinstatement, the individual will not be allowed to coach, but may continue to reapply for reinstatement each year thereafter. The letter requesting reinstatement must contain the following A detailed description of the incident which resulted in the suspension. Reason why the program feels the offending coach should be reinstated. No contact with the team will be allowed during this period.

Residency The league shall be made up of residents of Fairbanks, Madison Plains, Plain City, London, and West Jefferson. I All players must have on file with the Program Director, a signed permission slip to play, proof of age, and registration payment receipt prior to any practice or game. Hardship cases may be considered and approved wherein the League will waive payment for any player or players. The decision shall rest with the Program Director and will be decided on a case-by-case basis as to qualification. Any child will be eligible to participate if he/she has attained his/her seventh (7) birthday prior to August 1 st of the current year, and not attained his/her ninth (9) birthday prior to August 1 st of the current year. 3
4 Birth certificates will be required to be on record with the participant's application. The league Director and Commissioners reserve the right to determine the division in which a child shall be placed. Generally, seven (7) and eight (8) year olds shall play in the Instructional Division. V. Any player missing two (2) of the three (3) practices unexcused, in any week, will, at the coach s discretion not play the following game. However, under no circumstances, shall a child be penalized for missing practice due to a school related issue. A player ejected from a game, for any reason, will not be allowed to practice the following week and will be suspended for the next league game. SECTION E - EQUIPMENT I. All players MUST wear protective gear at all times while actually engaged in contact play, including practice sessions. This shall include HELMET, SHOULDER PADS, HIP PADS, FOOTBALL PANTS WITH PROPER KNEE AND THIGH PADS, AND A MOUTH GUARD. ATHLETIC SUPPORTERS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. I League players shall be allowed to wear molded soccer or multi-purpose style shoes that do not contain metal within the mold. Tennis style shoes are permitted, but not recommended. No steel or replaceable cleats are allowed. Other protection, such as rib pads and arm pads are permissible. (A) Team uniforms shall not vary from the league uniform. Players shall be required to wear the furnished game jersey and the player furnished pants. Pants can be any color as long as whole community is the same (i.e All PC teams would need to wear the same color) (B) Teams may decorate their helmets uniformly, however all logos and decals must be approved by the league. The league shall furnish an approved mouthpiece for each player. They are designed to be attached to the helmet via the facemask. All players will be required to attach their mouthpiece to their facemask as they were designed. Failure to do so will result in a five-yard dead ball penalty and the player will be declared ineligible until he is fitted with the proper equipment. Players with a special mouthpiece shall be reported to the referee prior to the start of the game. Current HS rules do not allow Clear or White mouth pieces. V. From time to time games will be scheduled between teams with like colored jerseys, in these cases cover-ups, furnished by the league, will be worn by the home team. The use of cover-ups will be decided by the referees. Please remember to return the cover-ups at the end of the game. With difference to the High School rule players shall be allowed to wear face paint and eye markers during games as long as they are in good taste. Good taste shall be decided by league officials. SECTION F - DRAFT OF PLAYERS I. Any player who has not been evaluated will go into the blind draft. 4
5 I Players will return to the same team that they played on the previous year unless they move up into a different division or if a request, honored by the Director, for a player not to return to the same team, is made. Reasons for the request must be stated and that player will go into the draft. If a player, who is eligible to return to a team on which he played the previous year, fails to sign up prior to the draft, that player will be treated as a new sign-up and awarded to the team next in line for a player, subsequent to the draft. Instructional Division, sign-ups will be cut off on the date of the Kickoff Bowl. The Instructional Division draft shall be conducted at a special drafting session from a roster of draftees. The draft shall be conducted for all locations at a time and place designated by the Director of the MYFL. Players are NOT permitted to be present during the draft. Sons of head coaches may be withheld from the draft and assigned to their father s team if so desired (limit - 2 withholds per team). No assistant coaches will be assigned to teams due to player s talent. V. Expansion team coaches may pick an assistant coach, with player, but loses his first round draft pick. V Any player not returning to the team that he previously played for will go into the blind draft. In the Instructional Division, the draft will be structured such that each team contains a balance of age groups. To accomplish this, 7 year olds will be drafted first, and 8 year olds will be drafted last. For draft purposes teams will be ranked by the number of returning players from the previous year. Round I; every team gets a pick of their choice, regardless of age group. Starting with Round II and continuing, teams with the fewest returning players in the respective age group starting with the 7 year olds will draft first and continue drafting until the seven year olds are used up or the team has reached its maximum (number to be determined by the Division Commissioner & the Draft Master). Once that age group is used up, we will move to the next age group until all players of that age group are drafted and then on to the next age group. For the purpose of the draft the age group of a player is his age on August 1 st of the current year. Players assigned to the blind draft, will be assigned and grouped according to age. SECTION G - WEIGH-INS/WEIGHTS I. Official weigh-ins will be conducted on the day of the Kickoff Bowl (If a child cannot be present for the Kickoff Bowl, then the official weigh-in shall be the weigh-in conducted during the first game that the child plays.). Thereafter, weigh-ins will be conducted approximately 1/2 hour prior to the kickoff of games. The weigh-in will be conducted by the head coaches of the teams and the commissioners or their representative. Those individuals not making weight as described herein will be disqualified from play for that week and any week in the future until such time as the participant can make weight on an approved scale in the presence of one of the commissioners or his authorized representative. I Each player must meet weight at weigh-in prior to the first League Game. This weigh-in will establish those players eligible to participate in their respective divisions based upon maximum weight limitations. All players exceeding the established maximum weight for their respective division will have to wait until the next week to try and make the weight. No player can participate until the league weight is met. At weigh in time, the weight will be adjusted back to the previous full pound. Players must be attired in football pants with pads, socks and a shirt for weigh ins. No player, parent nor coach should request a child be weighed with less than the required attire. There will be 5
6 a two pound allowance for the required clothing. Ex. 85 pound limit now tops out at 87.9 pounds. The player must not weigh 88 pounds. SECTION H - SCHEDULED GAMES AND PRACTICES I. No outside league scrimmages will be allowed. Scrimmages may be arranged by the respective coaches only between teams within the league; scrimmages will count as one practice with pads for each team involved. I Each team must complete the schedule of league games. Practice schedules prior to the start of school shall be determined by the commissioners. After school starts, practice shall be limited to two (2) practices per week unless otherwise approved by the Mini-Board. Exception to this rule is if a team has a bye for the week they may conduct a third practice in pads. The length of the practice sessions shall be at the coach s discretion as long as they do not exceed two (2) hours in length per day. Once school starts, practice must be over by 8:30 PM. Any Saturday practice at any time must be non-contact. No pads are permitted to be worn. SECTION I - GAME RULES I. There will be score kept during the game this year. Score will be kept by 1 s.

The Official Football Rules, published by the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations and such changes authorized by them shall govern all games. If a rule is not specifically modified by the league, in writing, by the official league rules or addendum therein, the above listed rulebook shall be followed. In the Instructional Division, no blitzing is allowed by any player. Blitzing is defined as a player who was more than one (1) yard off the line of scrimmage at the snap, charging in anticipation of penetrating the line of scrimmage with the snap of the ball. A defensive player who has established a position within a yard of the line of scrimmage, irrespective of whether he is in a down position or in an upright or standing position, will not be classified as a Blitzer.

Repeated violation of this rule can result in an unsportsmanlike penalty and removal of a coach. Defensive players in the Instructional Division must be set for one second before the snap of the ball. The spirit of this rule is to allow the referees time to check for possible blitzers and obvious attempts to draw the offense offside; not to penalize the defense for arbitrary movement within the line and will be enforced as such. Offensive formations will be limited to the standard seven-man line. Unbalanced lines are not allowed. In the Instructional Division, latitude will be given to the center s head being over the ball during the snap of the ball. XVI In the Instructional Division, a Hurry-Up Offensive is not permitted.

Coaches shall submit, prior to each game, at the weigh-ins, a starting lineup of skilled players (backfield) to the opposing coach for each half. These are the players to be subbed-out in the second half. Instructional Chili Bowl The last game of the season will be determined by the league. Matchups for the final game will be based off of the current standings. This is not a championship format. Teams will be matched against teams of similar strength. 3
