2025 NBYFC FOOTBALL SQUADS BY AGE/WEIGHT

Playing age of a football player is determined by their age on August 1st of the current year.
U14 players cannot turn 15 during the calendar year of the season.
There is no weight gain allowed during the season, once a player goes over the max weight they become a X-Men for the remainder of the season.
Each level can have an unlimited number of X-Men. X-Men can only play on the offensive or defensive line with a max of 5 X-Men on the field.
X-Men can now be on PAT, they are excluded from kickoff and kick return.
If a X-Men picks up a fumble or gets a pick during live play the play stays live instead of being called dead.
