AGE-BASED FOOTBALL
Age-Based football is an age and grade appropriate division without weight restrictions. The participants will be together with their classmates. The Age-Based program will better align our teams with national trends and create a true feeder for High Schools.
With an Age-Based program, you don't have a child playing one level this year and having to move up 2 levels and play with older kids because of a growth spurt. Every child can play at the appropriate level with other kids their own age through our entire program.
Player Eligibility:
All new CKR Players (except Flag) are required to provide a photo and Original State Issued Birth Certificate.
to validate participation eligibility.
