We played our first games yesterday. Our 6th graders played well, winning 28-0. The team we played was pretty over matched. They only had four 6th graders on their squad (we have 13) and they were pretty small. We took our foot off the gas after our third possession and began subbing in our 5th graders. We were able to play all of our 5th graders liberally during the 6th grade game. We also played a 5th grade only game. Our 5th graders won that 6-0. In our league, we have two 20-minute halfs with a running clock. 5th grade game is two 10-minute halfs with a running clock. We don't do any special teams. Here's the video: 6th Grade Game (LINK)5th Grade Game (LINK)woh those are some pretty crazy rules. our junior division (6th grade) plays 4 10 minute quarters, no running clock and Special teams. the only modified rules are that ball carriers must be under 75lbs at the time of weigh-ins (once at the beginning of the season), and any blitz must happen after the snap (any linebacker who moves forward presnap = illegal procedure). |

Cut-off for ball carriers in our league is 130.9. Any player 131 lbs. or heavier has to be striped and must start each snap in the LOS. We also have a rule that the defense can't have any more than 6 players on the LOS (except for goal line). All other defensive players must line up at least 5 yards off the LOS. Defensive line players can line up in the gaps but the center can't be covered. |

Holy ****. My 3rd grader is 85 lbs and is a QB. I have 3 starters on my 8U team that might, might make that cut off. That is literally insane. Are you in North Korea? Holy Mackerel. |

Wow, i coach a 5th grade team and if I put my best linemen out there, our lightest is probably about 115 lbs. Our two biggest are around 140 or so with a couple in between. Most are pretty athletic too, not just big kids. Our starting FB goes about 120 as well

Holy sh*t that is LIGHT. The Pop Warner older lighter rule on 6th graders (11 years old) to play down with 9-10's (4th and 5th) is currently 95 lbs, so your ball carriers wouldn't even be playing with the 6th grade kids, they'be be playing down. And they'd be light there too - heck, the minimum weight for the Jr. Pee Wee age group is 65 lbs. Pee Wee is primarily 6th graders in Pop Warner, and the minimum weight is is 80 lbs. So your ball carriers are too light to even play with their age group in Pop Warner. That makes no sense. |
