Game day and practice jerseys are included.  All players must supply appropriate footwear, helmets and pads.

• Registration is open from April 13th thru July 6th

• NO LATE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED

• Players are registered for their rising grade in the Fall (i.e., what grade are they entering in the Fall of 2022)

• Roster limitations are in place (per NTFL League Bylaws) and spots on a team are allocated to individuals based on when you register (*NOTE – timing of registration does not dictate which team you are on if there are multiple teams, but rather gets you a spot on a team)

  • Tackle teams are capped at 22 players

  • A minimum of 16 players are required to make a team

  • Exceptions to the player cap or player minimum must be approved by the NTFL Board

• Players will be put on the football waiting list for their respective grade if the cap for a team has been reached and the minimum has not been achieved to make another team. This is determined by when you register (e.g., if you are the 26th to register for 6th grade, you will be on the waiting list until the total number of registrants gets to 32 and two teams can be created).

• Roster formation is done through a drafting process that is dictated by NTFL League Bylaws.

• Skill sessions will be held to allow coaches to evaluate players and prepare for the draft process; each player must attend one of the scheduled sessions to be drafted (players that do not attend a session will be allocated to teams and not drafted)

• Minimum playing time rules are in effect and defined by the NTFL Bylaws

• Equipment: game day and practice jerseys are included. Players are responsible for purchasing their own helmets, shoulder pads and footwear.

 

3rd grade will have modified tackle rules to gradually introduce tackle football and proper technique to our young athletes.
