The Salt River Conference does A Team and B Team. Sometimes we have 7th graders that start on the A Team and never play on the B Team. Or we've had 7th graders play one position on the A Team, say CB but can't crack the lineup at RB which is where the staff thinks he'll end up in 8th grade or high school, they will let him play a series or two "down" on the B Team for some game reps. It's actually a great system imo.

The BCYFL split from the Rec Dept about 6 years ago for more control over coaching, schedule, etc. The league is made up of the elementary schools of Woodlawn, Perryville and Junction City are the feeders for BCMS. They play 5/6 grade so half of the team is at BCMS (6 grade) and the other is in their respective elementary school. We also have 3/4 grade teams and then 1/2 grade flag football.

Chuck Smith implemented this (except for flag) when he arrived to coach here in the mid 90s. He personally went to visit those elementary schools and recruited kids to come out for football...the rest is history.
