As a member of the Lincoln Youth Football League (LYF), we will follow their league rules which state, “Boys and Girls aged 6-14 who reside in Lincoln and the surrounding communities” are eligible to play. Current LYF teams are determined by the home address of the player. The Jr Bolts, however, will be comprised of students enrolled in one of the Catholic Grade Schools in Lincoln. If the student is homeschooled, and the family is registered in one of the Catholic parishes, they will need to petition LYF for an “out of district exemption”.

LYF, in order to maintain fairness and equality, determines for which team a student plays by where they live, referred to as the player’s “district”. Each player must play for the team in which district they reside. The Jr Bolts, as a feeder program for Pius X, has been given an exception approved by the LYF board, which has determined that eligibility will be based on the players grade school being one of the Catholic schools that feed into Pius X.

Registration will be handled by LYF and usually opens in January each year. Please visit www.lincolnfootballleague.com for more information
