8th Grade

It is the policy of the Germantown Youth Football Club that all players have the opportunity to play in each league game.  Our coaching staffs are dedicated to providing all players with the opportunity to play a meaningful roll with their team through practices, scrimmages, and game action.  The Germantown Hawks Youth Football Club has adopted specific playing time requirements for the program.  Three factors will be taken into consideration by our coaching staff when determining playing time at all three levels. 

1. Playing time is based on the player’s understanding of their position and the playbook. 
2. Playing time is based on practice attendance. 
3. Playing time is based on the player’s physical status.
