Because it keeps the playing field kind of even, which is important in pee-wee because kids are just trying to learn the game and how to play it fundamentally.

It's not fair to have a 180 pound half back running over 150 pound linebackers or having a 150 pound offensive tackle trying to block a 200 pound DT.

My pee-wee league- the Northern Kentucky Youth Football league- had a weight limit, but the Boone Country League (where Shawn Alexander is from), didn't.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's just about making it fair to learn fundamental football.
