Football Eligibility

Home » About MYFA » Football Eligibility

Per OHSAA rules, each child must complete three (3) conditioning practices before they are allowed to participate in contact practices. If your child cannot be present for one of the conditioning practices, he/she will have to make up those practices with their coaches before they are allowed to have contact. There are no exceptions.
