HFL Age/Weight Requirements and Schedule

The HFL's contact football program is open to homeschool boys between the ages of 7 and 18(or high school graduation). Players will be assigned to teams based on the age and weight guidelines list in the table below. In addition to age and weight, skill level will also be a determining factor in team placement. Exceptions to the age and weight guidelines will be made as deemed necessary. These exceptions must be approved by the league director and will be handled on an individual basis.

Practices will be conducted on weekday evenings with games being played on Saturdays. The practice schedule is also listed below by age group. A complete season schedule will be emailed to each family once the team distribution lists have been created. All teams will practice two times each week. The number of practices has been limited to reduce scheduling burdens for families participating. In addition to our weekly practices, we will play one game each week. Games are scheduled for Saturdays to allow dads to serve as coaches, assistants, score keepers, etc. Our game schedule will begin on Saturday, March 17th with the HFL's heralded "Father and Son Flag Football Game". This game should provide some good, old-fashioned competition and a bunch of laughs.

*Players who exceed the maximun ball carrier weight limit will be allowed to participate in the age division as designated above, but will not be allowed to carry the football (i.e. quarterback, receiver, kick return, punt return, or running back).  If an overweight player would like to carry the ball, he must move up to the next age division.

Uniform Costs

The Homeschool Football League will assess a "New Player Fee" of $100 to each new contact football player.  This fee will only be charged in the player's first season of contact football.  The funds collected will be used to offset the cost of uniforms needed to equip new players.  If this expense places any type of financial burden on your family, you are invited to participate in any of the fundraising opportunities we have available.  Proceeds from the fundraisers can be used to offset the uniform cost. Any family generating more funds than needed to cover the "New Player Fee", can use the remaining balance to cover other costs associated with the football season (i.e. registration, gas for practices, misc. equipment, etc.).

HFL Fall Registration Fees

Registrations for the fall season of contact football will be accepted through Saturday, March 31st.  The discounted fee for all early registrations received or postmarked by January 31st will be $195 for Mighty-Mite and Youth level players and $225 for JV and Varsity age players. Families with more than two brothers participating in the league will receive our large family rate of $575 per family during this early registration period. The large family rate will allow all brothers in a family to participate at a fixed cost. The early registration discount will not apply to applications received or postmarked after January 31st.

Fundraisers and a payment plan are available for any family with a financial burden that might prevent it from participating in our program.  Families needing financial assistance can take advantage of our fundraising cards from Dominos to offset the cost of participating in the league. The fundraising cards are available upon request and are free to any family needing financial assistance. Please contact the league director, Earl Pendleton, at earl@homeschoolfootballleague.com for more information about our pizza card fundraiser.

We will also offer a payment plan option to families registering prior to the January 31st early registration deadline.  One-half of the total balance may be paid on or before January 31st, and the remaining balance on or before February 29th. We hope the fundraisers and the payment plan will provide the relief needed for families with limited finances.  If you have additional needs, please contact the league director, Earl Pendleton.
