The Greater 69th Street Wildcats Athletic Teams and Rules
BEFORE YOU REGISTER YOUR CHILD – PLEASE READ THIS DISCLAIMER
FOOTBALL TEAMS – We play in a weighted league. If a child is of age and does not weigh at or under the maximum weight listed by his or her age – they will not be able to play in any games. They can, at the leisure of the next weights head coach, be moved up to the next weight division. Each head coach of the next weight division has a right to give a try out to the player. If the head coach feels as though the player is not ready for the next weight division, the child would continue the season playing with his/her age group - on the practice squad - to learn the game of football – without being eligible to play in any official game until they met the weight standard for that weeks competition. All weight divisions get one pound every other week. Children that remain too heavy to make weight for a game and are not ready for the higher weight division – still receive a trophy and the additional perks the team gets once the season ends.
Practice and games are played in the heat, rain, sleet, snow and ice. We never play in Thunder and
Lightning.

CHEERLEADING SQUADS – We are looking to recruit and retain 100 cheerleaders this year. The
Cheerleaders have the same metrics as the football players. They Cheer in the heat, rain, sleet, snow
and ice whenever the boys play. Cheerleading is not a weighted sport.
