Last year we had a challenging time collecting everyone's paper work prior to practice beginning. As an organization our insurance carrier requires complete registration packets before our coverage is in force.

We need your help and cooperation this year. As you know, the total number of children allowed in our program is limited by league rules. Effective immediately, your place in the program will be guaranteed after you have provided FYF each of the following items:

1. Completed 2008 registration form signed by parent, with registration fee
2. Doctor's note signed with date later than Jan 2008
3. Original birth certificate
4. Parents Code of Conduct
5. Players' Code of Conduct
6. Waiver/Release Form
7. Final report card (July 11, 2008)

If ALL these items are not provided to FYF prior to July 11, 2008 you're your application is not complete and your child will then be placed on a waiting list. The next complete application on the waiting list will be placed on the final roster. This could mean that your child will no longer be guaranteed a place in the 2008 program. Please do not let this happen to you!

Reminders for the 2008 Season

1. ALL: August practice is very important for conditioning, for education on proper techniques and for the safety of each participant. If your child cannot make a minimum of 3 out of the 4 weeks of practice session in August 2008 please do not register your child this season. We are aware that this is also vacation time for many families. We will try to accommodate families whenever we can, however, 3 out of 4 weeks of attendance is required by all cheerleaders and all football players.
2. Football: All football squads will be formed by age and by weight. The league requires that all players must attend a mandatory official weigh in prior to the season beginning. It is the only way the league can maintain fairness. Every football player must attend the September 6, 2008 weigh in. If you do not attend this weigh in you will not be eligible to play. Sorry no exceptions.
3. Cheerleading: This season the cheer squads at the A, B, and C levels will be competition squads and as such they will need to train harder to prepare for the competition events. As an organization we have had great success bringing teams to the competition, but please know it takes hard work and a commitment to your team. This is an exciting environment, but we have learned that some kids may not want to compete. We wanted to remind everyone what next season has in store for the A, B, and C cheer squads.

Remember, applications will be considered on a first come first serve basis after all sign up requirements have been met. Registration forms and more information can be found at www.framinghamyouthfootball-cheering.org. Forms are also available at the Park and Rec Office.
