Numbering - Youth Football
Misc. Topics
Our representative to the Youth Football organization is Dave Jurkiewicz. Dave
reports that the topics listed below have been relayed to him for officials
to enforce:
NUMBERING
The Diablo Valley Youth Football Conference’s Board of Directors want Rule
7-2-5a strictly enforced. Rule 7-2-5a states: “at the snap at least seven
A players , 5 of whom must be numbered 50 to 79, shall be on their line of scrimmage".
There is to be no further exceptions to this rule at DVYFL games.
SHOES
In all divisions, non detachable, rubber molded cleats are required. All shoes
must be in good condition. No screw on cleats of any type will be allowed. If
a player is found to be wearing illegal shoes while participating in any game,
he / she will be permanently ejected for the remainder of that game.
OVERTIME PROCEDURE
No game will end in a tie. Ties will be resolved by CIF High School Rules (4
Downs from the 10 yard line). If a tie is not broken after two (2) sessions,
the total yardage rule will be used (four (4) downs, total yards). The ball
will be placed on the forty (40) yard line. When you need to go to the total
yardage system to determine a winner in overtime begin at the 40 yard line going
in. Each team will get 4 plays to gain the most yards. If a team gains 40 yards
on their first play they are done and the other team takes over or the game
is over. If each team gains 40 yards you must do it again. The number of plays
a team may use does not matter-only total yards.
EXCESSIVE POINT MARGIN
Once a team has scored a thirty (30) point margin, the game will go to an automatic
running clock immediately after the second (2nd) half begins. The clock continues
to run even if the score spread decreases to less than thirty (30) points. Clock
will stop for timeouts and injury timeouts.
Corrected Youth Football Fees & Rules Interpretation
Assignor Dave Cutaia sent out the following information via e-mail recently
regarding youth fees:
Actual youth football fees for all games except the NYFL are as follows:
Junior Pee-wee, Pe-ewee and all PJFL games: $44.00 per official
Junior Midget & Midget: $46.00
These fees were originally listed as $46 & $48. The NYFL fees remain the
same. Adjustments will be made on the next pay period.
Dave also in the same e-mail informed us a to the following:
At the last meeting, it was stated that a player may hold the all on his foot
for a field goal or try. This is incorrect. A player must hold the ball on a
tee, or on the ground.
On page 23 of the rule book, Rule: 2-23-4 says "A scrimmage kick is any
legal kick from in or behind the neutral zone. Either a place kick, punt, or
drop kick may be used. For a place kick the ball must be controlled on the ground
or on a LEGAL KICKING TEE by a teammate.
YOUTH FOOTBALL
There was a recent e-mail regarding the enforcement of illegal cleats rule,
overtime procedures and excessive score difference rules at youth games. Please
consult the Youth segment of this web site if you are not familiar with Youth
guidelines - particular in regard to these issues. Game reports MUST be
sent to Dave Cutaia and Dave Jurkiewicz ( fax #’s are on the Youth
Game Report Link) if you have any unusual problems or ejections.
