What ages can participate?
The age requirements for football and cheer are based on a player’s age as of June 15. The age ranges for each team are: Jr. Pee Wee – ages 6 to 8 (Minimum age 6 by June 15th); Pee Wee – ages 9 to 10; Jr. Midget – ages 11 to 12; and Midget – ages 13 to 14 (Max age 14 by June 15). All 8th graders must play Midgets. No high school players are eligible to participate. For cheer the requirements are for ages 4-1/2 to 14 years old.
Are there weight restrictions for football?
All kids are allowed to play regardless of their weight. However, players that exceed the weight limit for the Jr. Midget, Pee Wee and Jr. Pee Wee teams are restricted in what positions they can play and generally must play on the offensive or defensive line. You can find more information about these restrictions in the league rules on the SAC website.
The weight limits for each team are: Jr. Midget – 164 lbs; Pee Wee – 139 lbs; and Jr. Pee Wee – 100 lbs. There is no weight limit for Midgets.
Where will the Jr. Falcons play?
We will practice and play our home games at Christian Brothers High School. We will play away games at high schools within the Sacramento region.
When are practices? Practice days and times to be determined.
When are games played? Games will be played on Saturdays.
What opportunities will there be for cheerleading?
Cheerleading is an important part of the Jr. Falcon experience. We will have at least two cheer squads but hope to have enough cheerleaders to create one for each football team.
Can my son play flag football for school as well?
Yes. We want to work in unison with the schools to create a more well-rounded football player for both programs and will schedule our practices and games around the PAL flag football games to make that possible.
What if I’d like to volunteer or get involved?
