Weigh in on August 23rd

So we have just over a week until the offical, MANDATORY weigh in for the league. Hopefully everyone already knows about it, but here are some details.

The weigh in takes place at Brockton High School. Buses will be at Forges Field on Saturday morning to transport all the kids to the weigh in. Only players and coaches are allowed on the buses. Since our weigh in time is 11:15am, we will be leaving on the buses at about 9:45am. All players should plan on arriving at the field by 9:15am or whenever your coach tells you.

The weigh in is conducted in shorts, game shirt, and sneakers. Your child should bring a drink with them for the bus ride, and for the wait outside the school. It can be a long day. After the weigh in, there is a snack bar for food. If you want your child to be able to get something to eat for lunch, please send them with a few dollars.

The buses should get back to Forges Field at about 1:30pm or so.

Again, this is MANDATORY. If your child does not attend, or does not make the required weight limit, they will not be able to play football for the first 2 weeks. At that time, there is a supplemental weigh in that will allow them to be certified to play, as long as they then make the weight.

If you have any questions about this process, please see your coach, email us or leave a comment.

Yes, this is accurate. Mandatory weigh in for all players. If you have any questions, I would talk to your son's coach.
