- How are teams formed and how is the league facilitated?
-
Teams are formed by age; teams are not separated by booster club/elementary school as our other sports– all areas are combined by age. The league is facilitated by Roanoke County in which Roanoke will create game schedules.
- What are the age divisions?
-
8U (7 & 8 years)
10U (9 & 10 years)
12U (11 & 12 years)
- Are there position weight limits?
-
There are position weight limits, this means that players that do not meet the weight requirements will be “restricted position players”. Restricted position players may never advance the ball. Anytime a restricted position player, identified by their jersey number, comes into possession of the ball during a live play, the ball will automatically be blown dead from the spot. Restricted position players are required to wear a jersey number from 60-69.
- What are the position weight limits?
-
8U- Position weight limit - 110 pounds (only for age 8, no weight limit for age 7)
10U- Position weight limit - 125 pounds (only for age 10, no weight limit for age 9)
12U- Position weight limit - 130 pounds (only for age 12, no weight limit for age 11)
- How are players weight determined?
-
Roanoke County will conduct a “weigh-in day” in which staff from Roanoke will weigh players in the upper year of an age division. If a player is not weighed by Roanoke by the weigh-in deadline, that player will automatically become a restricted position player.
- Where are practices held?
-
Practice location options will be provided by Botetourt Parks & Recreation. Coaches will have the opportunity to choose their practice location among the options provided.
- Where are games played?
-
Games are played in Botetourt County, Roanoke County, Salem, Glenvar, and Franklin County.
- What days are games?
-
Games are on some weekdays and Saturdays.
