Notes
STRUCTURAL KEY FOR NE - THE PRODUCT ITSELF CHANGES. A large share of rural Nebraska schools are too small for 11-man football and play 8-man or 6-man instead. Youth programs feeding them follow suit. This means 'youth tackle football' is not one product across Nebraska: rules, roster sizes, field dimensions, equipment needs and coaching all differ. Texas has 6-man in the west, but nowhere near this proportion. Any statewide offering has to account for two different games.
Seasons, fees and registration windows change. Confirm with the league before you pay. Our record: Medium. What our tiers mean
