Mounds View Youth Football fields teams at each grade level 3rd through 8th.
3rd grade teams are formed by MVYFA, with every attempt made to balance teams by player size, and to group teams by school and neighborhood. Teams will play in the North Metro Junior Football League against teams from St. Anthony and Irondale. Teams are made up of approximately 15 players, with the format being nine-man football on 60-yard fields. Most games will be played on Saturday afternoons and Monday nights. Each team will play eight regular season games and the season will culminate in a single elimination playoff tournament ending near the first of November. Players who weigh more than 95 pounds at registration will NOT be allowed to carry the ball throughout the entire season.
4th grade teams are formed by draft. Teams will participate in the NMJFL against teams from Irondale and St. Anthony. Teams are made up of approximately 15 players, with the format being nine-man football on 60-yard fields. Most games will be played on Saturday afternoons and Monday nights. Each team will play eight regular season games and the season will culminate in a single elimination playoff tournament ending near the first of November. Players who weigh more than 105 pounds at registration will NOT be allowed to carry the ball throughout the entire season.
Mounds View's 5th and 6th grade teams will play in the TCNYFL. This league is made up of teams from ten different communities, stretching from Mounds View to St. Francis. There were 24 teams at each grade level last season.
Games are played on 100-yard fields, and teams play eleven-man football with no coaches allowed on the field. Games are timed, and are basically played by high school rules.
Each team will play a nine-game regular season, followed by a multiple-tiered, single elimination playoff tournament. The championship games will be held around the end of October, and will likely be held at either Mounds View High School or Irondale High School.
Teams are formed by draft, and each of our teams will have approximately 18 - 20 players.
Players who weigh more than 125 pounds in 5th and 135 pounds in 6th at registration will NOT be allowed to carry the ball throughout the entire season.
Mounds View's 7th and 8th Grade teams will participate in the TCNYFL. This league features teams from fourteen communities all across the northern suburbs. In 2007, there are 38 teams in 7th grade, and 22 in 8th grade.
Games are played by high school rules with the exception being the clock. 10-minute, stop time quarters are used. There are no defensive restricitons or weight limits of any kind in these leagues.
The TCYNFL now plays what is called a "mixed weight" league. There is no longer a minimum or a maximum weight in their open league.
The league offers an option of a "limited weight" league (no players over 130 pounds for the entire season). Each year, assuming that the league offers this as an option, Mounds View football will offer this at sign up. If an adequate number of players express the desire to play in this type of a league, and this can be accomodated without sacrificing the ability to form teams in the open league, Mounds View Youth Football will try to form a team for a limited weight league. In 2007, Mounds View is entering two teams of 7th and 8th grades combined in the weight limit league.
