At its April Board of Commissioners meeting, the FCYFL voted overwhelming to add 5 pounds to its Age/Weight Matrix at all weight classes except Ankle Biters.  The measure was taken in an effort to ensure we continue to serve our community and the largest group of children possible, so the weights were changed to adjust to the growth in the size of children over the last several years. This is the first change in the matrix in over 10 years.

This Age and Weight Matrix is now OFFICIAL, and the new weights appear below.
 

	Age on October 1
Weight Class	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
AB	UNL	90	55
80LB		100	90	85	80
90LB			110	100	95	90
100LB				120	110	105	100
115LB					135	125	120	115
130LB						150	140	135	130
155LB							175	165	160	155

* The minimum weight requirement for participating is 40lbs. Players must weigh at or greater than 40lbs by the official weigh-in (Typically mid-to-late August).

It has come to our attention that a number of "off season" tackle football programs, camps, and combines have contacted several of our member clubs.  The FCYFL has no affiliation or relationship with these organizations, nor have we given our permission for them to contact our commissioners, coaches, or families.

All athletic activities involve a level of risk, and we believe, when properly managed and regulated, youth tackle football is one of the safest sports children can play.  The FCYFL has invested and will continue to invest countless hours and significant resources to make the game as safe and rewarding as possible.  As a result we have become one of the premiere youth football organizations in America.  In fact, last fall, USA Football, in partnership with the NFL, chose one of our member clubs to help launch a new initiative, Heads Up Football, aimed at taking the head out of tackling. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell visited football practice and then spoke to 100 parents as part of the launch.  The FCYFL represents over 6,000 players, 1,500 coaches, and twenty-three separate football clubs, and we work diligently, through coaches certification, background checks, a proven skill and age & weight matrix, and numerous other initiatives to ensure that our participants have a safe, rewarding, and life changing experience.

We cannot say the same for the organizations promoting off-season football.  Many do not have the same commitment to safety and are, quite frankly, out to make money.  Nor in many cases do they take seriously critical issues such as the utilization of effective equipment, regular reconditioning, and maintaining proper insurance, to name a few.  Most importantly, it is our strong belief that playing tackle football year-round is not in the best interests of kids.  We feel it's a disservice to the young athletes who are prevented from participating in a variety of sports that help develop different skills sets, and offer other enriching experiences.

Families are free to do what they feel is best for their children, and we urge them to utilize the latest information available to make an educated and informed decision.  The FCYFL strongly maintains, however, that what is best for a young athlete is that they do not participate in off-season tackle football programs.

Everyone participating in the Fairfax County Youth Football League (FCYFL) must have a valid VA DMV ID card in hand for weigh-in.  No other form of ID is acceptable to FCYFL.  This means FCYFL will not accept birth certificates, military IDs, passports or any form of ID other than a VA DMV ID. 

For our returning players this is a gentle reminder to check the expiration date on your current ID. Older versions of the ID expire after 5 years.  For our new players here is a link to the VA DMV website that explains how to obtain a VA DMV ID. 

Due to security issues, the VA DMV will not issue an ID at the time of application.  These IDs are mailed to your home and the process can take up to 2 weeks.
