INTRODUCTION
This is the South Carolina Athletic Programs (SCAP) Rules and Regulations Handbook for the calendar year 2020. The handbook is in effect and reflects the rule changes voted on in 2019. This book contains all rules, regulations and requirements from SCAP. All policies are located in the SCAP Policy Handbook and also govern tournament play. Please instruct the responsible agency staff to read carefully and completely the contents of this handbook and the SCAP Policy Handbook. Please do not wait until after a program has occurred to consult the handbooks for the proper procedures. Any and all parts of these handbooks may be reproduced as needed by any SCAP membership agency. It would be to the advantage of the SCAP membership agency to produce the pertinent pages of information and distribute to teams when they travel to a SCAP tournament or when a SCAP membership agency hosts a tournament at their facilities. It is the desire of the SCAP Board of Directors that these handbooks assist each agency in joining SCRPA/SCAP and participating in a SCAP activity. It should also be used in the formation of programs and plans to host and enter a SCAP tournament or special event.
This handbook mandates tournament play only. Local league rules are an option.

Players who exceed the weight limits must wear jersey numbers 70 – 79, allowing them to be easily identifiable. No other players should wear numbers 70 – 79 for any reason. If there are more players that exceed the weight limits than this range of jersey numbers will cover, then jersey numbers within the 70 – 79 range can be duplicated. Players wearing the same numbers cannot be on the field at the same time. If both teams have the same color the teams will flip to wear pennies. Field: Regulation High School field 360’ X 160’, properly marked with appropriate goal posts. Adequately lighted fields, electric scoreboard with operational clock, spectator seating, restrooms, a press box, and a concession area. Rules: **Each player must play within their age classifications regardless of their weight 1. No coaches are allowed on the field during game play. Exception: 8U is allowed one coach on the field.
*The coach must be at least 10 yards behind the deepest player in the formation on offense and defense along with absolutely no talking to or positioning of players once they break the huddle. Penalties are as follows: 1st offense: verbal warning (freebie); 2nd offense: sideline interference called and 5 yd. penalty from end of run; 3rd offense: unsportsmanlike conduct called and 15 yd. penalty from end of run; 4th offense: unsportsmanlike conduct called, 15 yd. penalty from end of run and coach ejected. At any point, if an official runs into the coach, the coach can be flagged w/penalty or ejected.
2. On offense, a maximum of five (5) players that exceed the weight limits will be allowed. These five (5) players can only play the positions of tackle, guard, or center and assume a three or four point stance prior to the snap of the ball.
3. On defense, a maximum of five (5) players that exceed the weight limits will be allowed. These five (5) players can only play tackle-to-tackle, and will be required to assume a three or four point stance prior to the snap of the ball.
4. Players will be weighed before each game. If a player exceeds the weight limit one game but meets the weight requirements at the next, they will be expected to change into an appropriate jersey number denoting the change.
5. Players who exceed the weight limits cannot play on kickoff or kickoff return teams, nor are they allowed to carry the ball at any time. Any player who exceeds weight limits cannot be the punter, extra point or field goal kicker. If a team does not have enough under the weight limit players (not wearing 70-79), to field a special teams squad, then the following occurs: a. If on a kickoff, the receiving team does not have enough under the weight limit players (not wearing 70-79), then the ball will be spotted at the receiving team’s 40 yard line (excludes the 7&8 division). b. If on a kickoff, the receiving team does not have enough under the weight limit players (not wearing 70-79), then the ball will be spotted at the receiving team’s 25 yard line (excludes the 7&8 division). c. If on a punt, the punting team does not have enough under the weight limit players (not wearing 70-79), then the ball will be spotted 15 yards from the line of where the punt would occur (only for the 11&12 division). d. If on a punt, the receiving team does not have enough under the weight limit players (not wearing 70- 79), then the ball will be spotted 35 yards, or half the distance to the goal, from the line of where the punt would occur (only for the 11&12 division).
13
6. If an overweight player recovers a fumble, catches or intercepts a pass, or has the ball in their possession for any reason, the ball is considered down at that point of contact.
7. If a team chooses to run a tackle-eligible formation, or any equivalent formation, the players on the ends of the formation cannot exceed the weight limits. This rule applies even if they are not considered receivers, and even if they are considered a tackling position by the High School rules.
8. NO kickoffs will be allowed in the 7&8 division. To begin the game and after a touchdown, the ball will be placed on the 35-yd. line. Any punts, the ball will be advanced 25 yds. or half the distance to the goal line.
9. Field Goals will go by high school league rules. 10. In the 7-8 and 9-10 year old age divisions, there will not be any punts. Fourth down, a team may go for a
first down, or they must declare a punt. A team may use the entire play clock to declare the punt, but they must state their intentions to punt before the clock runs out. If the clock runs out before their intentions to punt are expressed, a delay penalty will be given to the offense, or a time-out must be called in accordance with the game rules. If the team calls a time out or goes to the line in an attempt to draw the defense off sides or to run a play, they may then change their previously expressed punting intentions. If they choose to punt, as long as the ball is inside the fifty (50) yard line, the ball will be moved twenty five (25) yards from the line of scrimmage, or half (1/2) the distance to the goal. 11-12 and 13-14 will strictly go by high school league rules.
11. A player who exceeds the weight limits that is not in a 3 or 4 point stance at the time of the snap will cause a “Delay of Game.”
12. If a player who exceeds the weight limits is caught playing a position that their weight renders them ineligible to play, an unsportsmanlike penalty will be assessed and a warning given to the Head Coach. If it occurs a second time in the same game, an unsportsmanlike penalty will be assessed again, and the Head Coach will be ejected from the game. This will continue with each penalty, and will move down the chain of command ejecting the next Assistant Coach in charge. A coach that is listed on the team’s roster must be with the team on the sidelines at all times. If all coaches that are present on the sidelines are removed from the game and no other eligible listed coaches are available, the game will be forfeited.

The coach shall be aware that he or she has a tremendous influence, for either good or ill, on
the development of the athlete, thus, shall never place the value of winning above the value of
instilling the highest ideals of character.
The coach shall uphold the honor and dignity of coaching. In all personal contact with athletes,
league administrators, tournament officials, and the public, the coach shall strive to set an
example of the highest ethical and moral conduct.
The coach shall take an active role in the prevention of drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
The coach shall avoid the use of alcohol and tobacco products when in contact with players.
The coach shall master the games rules and shall teach them to his or her team members. The
coach shall not seek an advantage by circumventing the spirit or letter of the rules.
The coach shall exert his or her influence to enhance positive sportsmanship by spectators.
The coach shall respect and support game officials. The coach shall not indulge in conduct
which would incite players or spectators against the officials. Public criticism of officials or
players is unethical.
The coach should meet and exchange cordial greetings with the opposing coach to set the
correct tone for the game before and after the game.
I understand that unsportsmanlike behavior can lead to my suspension from and removal from
this game and/or tournament. I understand that violating the rules of conduct may also lead to
my suspension.
