The mini-pony division is primarily
for boys that are 7-8 years old with a maximum weight limit of 105 lbs. In order to
advance the football, ball handlers must be under 85 lbs. Players over the 85 lb mark
are considered "red stripers" and must play on the line. This
division is the first level of contact football. Practices will be critical in
developing sound fundamentals in blocking and tackling. Basic team concepts in
offense and defense as well as learning specific positions will be an important
part of the team experience. Game day is in the format of a controlled
scrimmage against the mini-pony team that our program plays on that particular
day. There are no special teams, referees or scores kept at this level in accordance
with MVYFL rules. Coaches are on the field during these scrimmages providing
instruction to the players in the scrimmage setting in a similar fashion to
what would take place in a practice. This division is a great opportunity for
participants to develop into full contact football players.
