Restricted Player Rules
“Restricted Players” must play on the offensive or defensive line between the tackles in a down position and may NOT play on special teams.
All “Restricted players” will be subject to a second weigh-in which shall be completed after the end of the regular season and prior to the commencement of the play-offs subject to the official weigh-in rules of the JSYFL. Any “Restricted Player” who weighs more than allowed at the second weigh-in, will be ineligible to compete for that Park during any play-off game. See weight chart below for Restricted player weight allowances.

“Restricted” players will have a small dot located on the helmet and will be notated on the official roster for easy identification.
“Restricted” players can only play for a Park if one of the following two
conditions are met:
A) “Restricted” player lives within said parks city limits
Or
B) “Restricted” player has already been certified for said Park in the past.
If any player certified as a “Restricted Player” is found to have participated in a game at a position outside of the “tackle to tackle” designation or does not meet one of the above rules, this will be considered a violation that will result in a forfeiture of any and all games where the violation occurred. In addition to forfeiture of games there may also be a monetary penalty assessed to the Park whose team violates “Restricted Player Rules”.
NO Player can play up a grade level unless approved by the JSYFL Board of Directors.
In all divisions, no player will be eligible who is in 7th grade or higher classification for the current year.
