General Program FAQs

 

Q: What’s included in the registration fees?

• Football registration includes two uniforms (home & away) and a duffel bag. Helmets and shoulder pads will be provided by the organization. Players are responsible for bringing their own cleats and mouthguards.

  • Please note: Helmets and shoulder pads must be returned at the end of the season. A $500 replacement fee will be charged to the parent or guardian if equipment is not returned.

• All fees also help cover field usage, game officials', and more.

 

Q: Are fees refundable?

A: No, fees are non-refundable. However, we reserve the right to make an exception upon written request under special circumstances.

 

Q: Are parents expected to volunteer?

A: Yes, parents are required to volunteer at minimum twice during the season, specifically during home games. Volunteer duties may include helping at the concession stand, working the field chains, or assisting at the gate.

If you prefer not to volunteer, you may opt out by paying a $100 fee.

​

Q: Do you offer a discount for families registering multiple athletes?
A. Yes! We offer multi-athlete discounts for families:

• Second child: $25 off (Use discount code: BROTHER)

• Third child: $50 off (Use discount code: TACKLE)

Discounts apply when all athletes are registered in the same category (e.g., all tackle football or all cheer).

If you're registering multiple athletes in different categories (i.e., one for football and one for cheer), please email us at 256family7v7@gmail.com to request a one-time use discount code.

​

Q: What if a family has financial constraints?
A. We never want financial hardship to prevent a child from participating. If your family is facing financial constraints, we offer flexible support options:

• Payment Plans to spread out registration costs

• Need-Based Scholarships (limited availability)

• Volunteer Credit opportunities that offer discounts in exchange for parent involvement

Please reach out to us at 256family7v7@gmail.com or speak with an administrator privately. We’re here to help and will work with you to find the best solution for your situation.
