Rules and Referee cards Updates 2019

The Intent and spirit of MEYFL is to simulate and to teach the basic fundamentals needed to play the game of football. MEYFL is not intended to supersede the community organization programs, but to create a unified and agreeable format for teams from various member communities’ youth to play football. We do have a number of basic rules that must be adhered to. Individual organizations may have more specific/detailed rules, however, those rules may not specifically apply to other communities.

Rules for 2019 Updated and posted

08/14/2019, 11:30am CDT

By Jeff Morgan

Rules are here!

The updated rules have been posted to the rules section. Highlight of the changes for all grades focus on a few items:

1) Skilled positions are more clearly defined. For all levels, anyone that is not a Center, Guard, or Tackle is a skilled position.

2) Fans have to be 7 yards away from the sidelines and must remain out of the players box. If parents do not follow that rule, the game will be stopped until it is corrected. This is the responsibility of the coach to enforce.

3) If there are stands-all non players and coaches must be in the stands.

4) The game will not start without the pregame meeting.

There were a very updates for Tacklebar as well, but these above are for all levels.
