NYS is suppose to check kids birth certificates if of high school age. Well they do not. I went into register a friend of my son's who is 14 years old which can easily be 14 in the 9th grade as this is what my son is going to be as well. When I registered this kid they only asked for his birth certificates and not once but twice as I registered another kid who is also 14 years old.
When I walked into NYS office there were kids weighing themselves which is unlimited weight for football, but these kids did not look like they were in Jr high, these kids looked like they were in HS. These kids were weighing over 300 lbs and playing against kids that are 130 lbs. I have kids in high school and know what kids in jr high look like.
I would not recommend you to register with NYS as the only importance to the owner is money. He doesn't care about our kids. He is all about making the money. I know of a better league that takes care of their kids and does check documents along with ages legally.
