yes, 90 lbs is the max. My son is 73 and about the biggest kid. He's 9. Goes up to 10 or even 11 if less than 90. We're a small, athletic team. It's true that few kids can throw that far. My son played QB in flag but they need his size and strength on the line. No matter how much they practice, they just can't keep those guys out. At best it's a stalemate. Sometimes they do get their pancake blocks in but then another kid misses his block and it's over. That leaves mis-direction, power I, wishbone or passes. We got killed on a pass last week that looked just like our flag football team's play. Handoff to RB, rolls right, all the kids move up to tackle him and he throws deep to wide open guy (LT play).
