Player Identification Card shall be the sole allowable proof of age in determining a player's eligibility.

Accepted Player Identification Cards

The participant information on the card must match the information on their registration, including their current address. The card must be current and not expired.

Visit the VA DMV website for more information on obtaining an ID card.

NOTE: It may take up to 2 weeks to obtain the card, so it is important that it is obtained as soon as the player is registered. They will not be able to weigh in without it. Receipts from the DMV are NOT acceptable as a substitute for the actual ID.

Vienna Youth, Inc. (VYI) Football and the Northern Virginia Youth Football League (NVYFL) are dedicated to fostering an ideal youth football environment. This is achieved by carefully matching players based on size, age, experience, and skill, using a detailed age/weight matrix and offering three levels of competition. This structure prioritizes player safety, development, fair play, and enjoyment.

2025 Season Enhancements

For the 2025 season, the age/weight matrix has been refined to enhance competition and participation. Key changes include limiting each division to three age groups instead of four and increasing flexibility in player placement. These reforms aim to:

1. Enhance the level of competition.

2. Increase enrollment and participation rates.

3. Provide a more accurate matching of players by age.

4. Align players more closely with their grade level through adjusted birth date eligibility. Also, a High School Only Division. 

Age and Weight Guidelines

The NVYFL uses an age and weight matrix to ensure balanced team composition and safety. Age is determined as of July 1st of the playing year. 

Competitive Divisions

The NVYFL divides most weight classes into three developmental levels to accommodate diverse skill levels, allowing players to grow at their own pace. Exceptions include the Anklebiters division, designed solely for development.
