The Diablo Valley Youth Football Conference also allows "Older-Lighters" at the Peewee and Jr. Midget levels. These are participants who cannot make the bottom weight of the next division of play. What they lack in size is compensated for with a little extra maturity.

Playing age is defined as the participant's age on August 1st, 2010. For new participants an original birth certificate or a certified copy from their county of birth, a passport or green card is required as proof of birth. CVAA is required to turn this in to DVYFC (Diablo Valley Youth Football Conference) for "Official Certification" purposes. It will be returned to us in time for the first game of the season. Please note that notarized copies, photocopies etc are not acceptable. If the required proof of age is not submitted a child may not participate in the CVAA program. In rare circumstances, such proof may not be available. If this is the case contact us as soon as possible so that we may consult with the Conference to determine if any other proof is acceptable.

The weight requirements listed below must be met at "Official Weigh-ins" and at the first game of the season. The weight limits increase periodically as the season progresses.
