LEAGUE INFO: In an effort to increase organization registration and player participation, the WEJFL is considering allowing 1 player over the respective level weigh limit on the field at a time during "varsity" games this coming season. The league will need to evaluate each organization’s registration numbers and players weights, so a final decision will not be made until August.
