Junior High Football Eligibility

The PIAA has advised the WPIAL office that 7th and/or 8th grade students,
who become involved in a youth football program that includes full
physical contact activities prior to MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 2010,
the first practice date of the PIAA-defined football season, will become
INELIGIBLE to participate in interscholastic football for one year.
This interpretation is consistent with the PIAA position on out-of-season
football related activities that involve physical contact
(ARTICLE XVI, Section 2C, of the PIAA By-Laws).
If a 7th and/or 8th grade student-athlete wants to participate in both
a youth football program and an interscholastic football program
they MUST NOT ENGAGE in any FULL PHYSICAL CONTACT
activity prior to Monday, August 16, 2010 and they may not wear
anything except a helmet and shoulder pads prior to
THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 2010.

care provider.The PIAA, which oversees high school athletics in the state of Pennsylvania, has stated that
the form known as the CIPPE form (Section 6) must be executed by a Licensed Physician of Medicine or
