Teaching football FUNdamentals to Round Rock area youth...
RRPW offers Flag & Tackle football for participants 5 to 13 years old. The kid's age as of July 31st determines their division. We follow the National Pop Warner guidelines for age/wght requirements in each division (except Flag).
FLAG FOOTBALL
We offer 8 man flag football for kids 5-7 yrs old and this division has no weight requirements. Flag football is a great introduction to prepare kids for the next level of tackle football. The flag division typically has 8 regular season games and 1 season-ending tournament.
TACKLE FOOTBALL
We offer 11 man tackle football for kids 5-13 yrs old in five divisions of tackle football - Tiny Mite (TM), Mitey Mite (MM), Jr Pee Wee (JPW), Pee Wee (PW) & Jr Midget (JM). Each tackle division has strict age/wght requirements to reduce risk of injuries and create more balanced competition. All tackle divisions typically have 8 regular season games. MM, JPW, PW & JM are allowed post season games with bowl games or playoff games.
Note: TM & MM are instructional training divisions and have special rules in place to assist with the development of these young athletes.
