Any requests for this "Older/Lighter" waiver must be made to the appropriate Division Rep and approved by the SCYR competition committee. There will be no cutoff date for this as players are always allowed to move up and down through their club's age divisions.

A player may have had his waiver granted, but still play IN ONE MATCH (as a starter or substitution) in his regular division (U14 or U16), and then choose to "play down" (U12 or U14). However, once he has played (starter or sub) in a second match in his regular division, he is ineligible to "play down".

Example #1: Tony, D.O.B. 6/6/97, is 12 years old (as of 9/1/09) and weighs 72 pounds. He applies for the "Older/Lighter" waiver and is granted it before the season begins. His U14 team is short players so he decides to play in their first U14 league match. The competition proves too much for him so he drops down to U12 (per his waiver).

Example #2: Frank, D.O.B. 9/2/96, is 14 years old (as of 9/1/09) and weighs 93 pounds. He is granted an "Older/Lighter" waiver but ends up coming from off the bench into U16 league match. He only plays 5 minutes, so the next two weekends he plays in two full U14 matches (per his waiver). On the fourth weekend, his U16s are short and he ends up on reserve with them. Again he enters the match and only plays for 5 minutes. He is now INELIGIBLE to play U14s again -- his waiver is revoked.

To apply for the waiver - email disciplinary@socalyouthrugby.org with a copy of the player's birth certificate, weight, playing experience (years), and a full body picture of the player against a reference object (e.g. a car). Allow one week for a preliminary decision pending an official weigh-in.
