Hi Coaches – It’s that time of year! Mandatory Weigh-in’s re coming up! Please see below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that you will be held responsible for this information so please read it carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Weigh In’s will happen at Dick’s Sporting Goods in American Fork on August 13th. Our district weigh-in is at 5:30pm. It is IMPERATIVE that each team is lined up and ready to be weighed at 5:30 as there is another district that will be showing up at 6:00pm and we MUST be completed before they show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. The Weigh In area will be fenced off and only one coach <\/strong>(doesn’t have to be the head coach) from each team will be allowed behind the fenced off area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Once your ENTIRE<\/strong> team is present, your designated coach can lead them to the fenced area and they will be permitted to enter together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Each coach will present to the conference representative a picture roster of every player on the team. Roster will include: photo of player, grade, jersey number, DOB and indicate if the player is a Z-Down player. A template is attached for the picture roster. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE 2 COPIES of the roster. One that the conference will keep and 1 for you to keep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. The conference has 7 digital scales, each designated for a particular grade. Every player in each grade level is weighed on the exact same scale. For example, no 5th<\/sup> graders will weigh in on the 7th<\/sup> grade scale etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Once the team is weighed, they will leave the fenced area and are free to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Each player must be wearing at least: shirt and athletic shorts. Underwear only is not acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Each player will have one chance to weigh in. Leaving and returning to the fenced in area is not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. If a player weighs at or above the X man weight for that grade, that player is an X man for the entire 2018 season. For example, if a 6th<\/sup> grader (6th<\/sup> Grade X man weight = 120 lbs.) weighs in at 120.0 lbs. that player is an X man. 121.0 lbs. is also an X man. If a player weighs in at 119.9 lbs. then they are not an X man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Players that weigh under 5 lbs. of the X weight will be required to attend a mid-season weigh in. For example, a 6th<\/sup> grader (6th<\/sup> Grade X man weight = 120lbs.) weighs in at 119.5 lbs., that player is NOT an X man at the start of the season, but will be required to attend a mid-season Weigh In event. That player must then be below the X weight for that grade to not be designated an X man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. If a player is not present at the initial Weigh In event, they will automatically be designated an X man. They are NOT eligible to attend the mid-season Weigh In event in order to remove themselves from the X man list. If a player is designated as a mid-season weigh in player, and they fail to report to the mid-season Weigh In event, they will be considered an X man thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12. The X man list is available for District Representatives’ review at any time during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 13. If asked by an opposing coach, coaches must provide a copy of the picture roster used for Weigh Ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14. All X men must have a visible X on the back of their helmet in a contrasting color. If the UYFC does not provide an X sticker, the player must use tape or some other method for the X in a contrasting color to their helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weight Limits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st & 2nd Grade – 75 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd Grade – 85 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th Grade – 95 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th Grade – 105 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6th Grade – 120 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7th Grade – 135 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8th Grade – 165 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9th Grade – No X Weight<\/p>\n\n\n\n Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dick’s Sporting Goods,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 841 Pacific Dr, American Fork, UT 84003<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All Caveman Youth football teams are to be lined up and ready to be weighed in at 5:30pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your help! <\/p>\n\n\n\n David Gaisford<\/p>\n\n\n\n President – Caveman Youth Football<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Coaches – It’s that time of year!
