2023 Tackle Football Team Formation Information
2nd – 3rd Grade - Team formation is done by the AFA board and is based on player weight, years of experience, and player/coach requests. The two grades will be separate this year as long as there are enough 2nd grade players to make a team. Coaches are allowed to protect their own kid plus 3 other players. Player/coach requests are accepted at this grade level but are not guaranteed as team balance must be maintained.
