DIVISIONS

In an effort to make the American Invitational Youth Football Championships competitive, fair, balanced, and fun, each age division may have more than one division included. Every football team accepted into the American Invitational Youth Football Championships is individually evaluated by the Bowl Selection Committee and placed within weight divisions (or an unlimited weight division) to assure quality competition. This does not guarantee that there will be no 30-0 games. It does assure that all teams within an division are generally the same age and weight by average. Though one team may be significantly more talented than another, age and weight are not a factor in who wins and who does not. We have many teams who will apply but cannot be accepted due their team's age and weight averages.

Specifically as to weights, teams are seeded into divisions based on the weight of their lightest player, heaviest player, and the average weight of all players. This helps assure fair match-ups in divisions. For 2011, we will continue to have UNLIMITED WEIGHT DIVISIONS in all divisions.  CLICK HERE for details about unlimited weight divisions.

For Tournament purposes, a participants age is his or her age on July 31, 2011.

There are the following age divisions (with weight divisions within each age division accordingly):
