League age is determined by player’s age on October 1, 2011.
Weights listed are the maximum that a player may weigh for the specific weight class.
SYC Football has expanded its program to provide an extra level of learning for our youngest players. In addition to the Anklebiter Division, this season we will offer an option for seven year olds to participate in our new Rookie Program. This also allows us to expand participation to six year olds who cannot participate in Fairfax County Football League because of the league age minimum of 7.
League age 6 year olds must register for the Rookie program.
League age 7 year olds 55 pounds or lighter can register for the either the Rookie or Anklebiter program.
Remember league age is determined by player’s age on October 1, 2011.
Rookie Program: (6 year olds any weight, 7 year olds under 55lbs)
The Rookie Program is mandatory for 6 year olds and is an option for 7 year olds under 55lb. The Rookie program will have practice only 3 days a week in August and then 2 days a week once school starts. Players will be outfitted in full pads including helmets. Practices will focus on the very basics of football skills, introduction to positions and general concepts of the game. As the season progresses and our young players are ready, we will introduce live scrimmages within our house teams, and then expand to other area leagues (6/7yr olds) as appropriate.
Anklebiter Program: (7 year olds any weight, 8 year olds under 90lbs, 9 yr olds under 55lbs)
Anklebiter teams will compete in the Fairfax County Football League as a part of SYC. 6 year olds are prohibited from playing in the anklebiter program. The SYC Anklebiters division is also developmental but will progress at a faster pace. Practices are 5 days a week in August and 3 days a week once school starts. Teams will have full scrimmages by the end of August followed by a seven game schedule vs other Fairfax County Football Teams for the season. Top teams progress to a playoff for a County Championship. For more information, visit

Evaluation Week:
If you are undecided or uncertain of where your child should play, all players in the Rookie Program and Anklebiter Divisions will be grouped together during evaluation week. Coaches will be available to help determine the best fit for your child.
SYC Football is excited to provide this extra level of instruction and looks forward to your child’s participation in our program!
For more information please feel free to contact us.
Thanks
