Keystone State League Weight Rules for Tackle Football

The Keystone State League adopted new weight rules in 2002 for all tackle football teams. The way weight is added to the limits over the course of the season changed, and an additional 5 pounds was added to the maximium starting weight for the 75 lb., 90 lb., 105 lb. and 125 lb. teams.

All players are weighed in before every game and must meet the guidelines below, or they are 'red-shirted' for that game (that is, their jersey is turned inside out and they cannot play in that game).

Players are weighed in wearing their game pants, spikes and jersey (helmet and shoulder pads are not weighed). Shoes may not be changed once weighed in.

* The "older/lighter" category extends the eligibility age by one year for light players.
