How do I register?
You can
register in two different ways. You can choose to register online, which will
allow you to use your credit card (preferred method) or you can pay in person
at the Football Saskatchewan office with cash or cheque.
When does registration begin?
Online
registration begins May 21st, 2011.
Do I have to register online?
Yes, you can
only register online or in person at the Football Saskatchewan office.
What if I get waitlisted?
You get added
to the waitlist by divisions. Players are placed on a team who loses a
player from its original roster, regardless of the team location. If you refuse
to join that team you will be dropped to the bottom of the waitlist for that
division. NO EXCEPTIONS! The waitlist is dropped after week 3 of the season.
How can I pay for registration fees?
You can pay
online through credit card or in person through cash, money order or cheque.
How much does it cost to register a player?
For the 2011 season it will be $80 to register a player.
When is the registration cut off date?
You CAN NOT register after July 21, 2011 and we might close the online system before this date if the league fills up. We will begin placing players on teams at this time, and there will be NO exceptions to the rule. If you register before the deadline and are waitlisted, your registration is still valid until you get added to a team or the waitlist is dropped after week 3.
Can I register more than one player at a time?
You can register as many players as you'd like online or in person as long as a payment is made at the time of registration.
How many players can play on a team?
A normal flag football team usually has 14 players, however, depending on the total number of players registered in a division, some teams may have 15 or 16 max.
Is there a maximum number of
teams in each age division?
Yes and No,
there is never a limit of how many teams will be in a division, if there is a
multitude of teams we will create divisions to make scheduling more manageable.
Once the registration limit has been reached, no more teams will be added to a
division.
How many games a week will my child be playing?
Every team will play one game a week on Saturday's between a designated time. The first games will always start at 8:30am with the second game following at the same location until all groups have played. We start with the 8/9 division, then 10/11 division, 12+ division, and then the 15/16 division (if applicable).
Where will the games be played?
All touch football games will be played at the
University of Regina Soccer Fields (South of the Field turf Field)
Can my child play up an age
group or down an age group?
The league
only allows you to play up an age group (extenuating circumstance) and the
age group in which you fall is based on the YEAR you were born, not school
year. You are NOT allowed to play down an age group.
How many times will my child
practice a week?
Practicing
all depends on the child's team. Some teams will practice once or twice. This
is completely up to the coach of your child's team, and is not controlled by
the league. If a team practices twice, it will be to due to commitments of the
players from the team, where it's easier to run two practices, where half the
kids show up for one practice or another. Please respect the coaches wishes in
regards to practice, but if you have any concerns express them to your coach.
Where will we practice?
The league does
not book fields for practices. It is the responsibility of the coach to book
practice in the area where the team is based out of.
Will everyone I play with be
from the same part of the city?
We do try our
best to put teams together that are from the same area, however, this is
sometimes not possible as it is dependent on registration numbers.
Do I need to be certified to
coach?
No, any
parent is able to be a coach, as we are a volunteer league and coaches are
always needed!!
Can I put in a request to
play with certain players?
You may put a
request for a certain player in the comments section when registering
online, but there are no guarantees. We will try our best to accommodate
your request.
What do I need for my child to play touch football?
Your child
will need to wear solid colored shorts with NO stripes or pockets, cleats or
runners for footwear.
If my child doesn't like
touch, can I get a refund?
Prior to the
start of the season fees will be returned less a $30 admin fee. From the start
of the season through week 2 fees will be returned less a $60 admin fee. There
will be no refunds issued after a participants 2nd game.
