| MMRFL Football Cleat Regulations |
Please pay special attention to the following guidelines when going out to buy cleats for your child for the upcoming football season in the MMRFL. Your child will not be allowed to participate in a game with cleats that do not conform to the MMRFL Rules. Pay special attention to the Cleats.
++++ Molded football or soccer style cleats made of a rubber-like material only, that cannot develop a burr or cutting surface. NO SCREW—IN, HARD CERAMIC, or METAL TIPPED CLEATS.
++++ Cleats may not be any longer then ½” in length.
++++ NO POINTED CLEATS or STUDS. All cleats or studs must be a minimum of 3/16” in diameter or more at the tip.
Shoe style names vary from store to store with the same shoes having different names and different stores. Also new shoes are coming out every few weeks so specifc recommednations are hard to list. There are many low cost offbeat brands that work. Of the Top Brand names Addidas is traditionally the best option for meeting these standards while Nike is one of the worst. In General almost all of the Nike "Shark" line of cleats do not meet this standard . UNder-Armour has only had one style in 3 years that met the rules.
Do not count on the clerks at the retail stores to know which shoes are legal or not – follow the rules above. We cannot educate all the clerks in the Leagues territory and in many cases they don’t care they just want to sell any thing you will buy. Be especially careful of the shoes with small pointed studs on the bottom or edge – these are illegal by MMRFL standards (minimum 3/16” at the tip) --- If you insist on buying these the small studs must be cut off to conform to MMRFL rules.
