Rowan County Legion

Define the age rule please

How does the actual age work? Is it high school or college ...or is it age? Is the age set as of Jan 1 of the year of legion? If a player is still 17 when they grad high school and therefore just 18 the first year of college are they eligible? On the other hand, if a kid is already 18 come Jan 1st of their senior year in high school can they play legion even though they will be 19 that year?

I don't really understand how the age works with legion and now with it going back to the old rules in 2009 I am more confused. If you know the details to this please explain.

Thanks!

 

Right now it is actual age. If a player is going to turn 20 before Jan.1 this year, he is illegal.

I have not seen anything in writing, but have heard a "rumor" that this is the last year 19 year olds will be able to play. This is not a North Carolina rule, this would be a national rule and a national rule change. You can keep up with national meetings at the national legion website...

Thanks!

Went to the site and the chart explains it better than anything I have read. Thanks again!
