Does everyone play?

Everyone does play. The amount of playing time is determined by effort, dedication, fundamentals, and skill level. We also keep safety and each players’ ability to protect themselves on the field a high priority. We play in a competitive recreation league. For this reason, there will be players who get more playing time than others due to their skill set and experience on the football field. However, every player has the ability to work hard at practice and earn more playing time throughout the season. If a player is at practice all 3 practices leading up to a game, then they will see the field in some capacity that week.

Is your program restricted weight or unlimited weight?

The Wildcats play in an unlimited weight league. This league does have weight thresholds for some skill positions per age group for safety purposes. All athletes no matter their weight will have a position they can play.
