WHAT DOES THE TWYFL REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDE?

The TWYFL provides the basic equipment necessary to participate in tackle football. This includes: helmet, shoulder pads, mouth guard, socks, jersey, integrated game pants. The helmet and shoulder pads must be returned in good condition and clean at the end of the season. Cleats, practice pants and practice jerseys are not provided. Each Flag football player will receive a reversible jersey, flags, and a pair of mesh shorts with a number of his/her choice. The fee also includes access to summer work outs with TWYFL coaches (Tackle Football Only) and registration for the football camp with the varsity staff to be scheduled for sometime in July.

WHEN DOES THE SEASON START AND HOW LONG IS IT?

Our season starts in July and runs thru early October. The teams practice 4 days a week for 2 weeks, and then drop-down to 2 weekdays (3 practices for 6th graders) a week with a game on Saturday (also some weekday games). All practices are a maximum of 2 hours long, scheduled start time sometime between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, Monday - Friday. Every team plays at least 7 total games - and at least 1 additional playoff game.

WHAT TEAM WILL THEY BE ON?

The TWYFL field's teams at 4 division levels: Flag, Minor, Majors, & 6th Grade. The playing level is determined by an age & grade. Teams are formed each new season and organized by a league draft. We do not guarantee "buddy" or "coach" requests when drafting rosters but you will very likely have players from your school and surrounding neighborhoods on your team.  

Remember that late registrations is on a first come, first serve basis. When teams are full, registration for that team level will be closed so don't delay registering your child and submit all the necessary forms to secure a roster spot on a team. No late cheer registrations will be accepted. Late registrations (with Late fee) for football will be accepted up until the day before the draft - providing that the divisions have not been closed prior to the date of registration.

WHAT ARE MY OBLIGATIONS AS A PARENT TO THE TWYFL PROGRAM?

The TWYFL is a 100% volunteer organization. Parent participation is mandatory to sustain the organization. The TWYFL has many volunteer opportunities each year ranging from being a Board Member, being a coach, a team parent, running the score board / clock or down markers at games. We do realize that in some cases it may not be possible to volunteer.

WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?

Should a registered player decide not to play and notify the TWYFL Secretary/Registrar before June 30th of the current year, the entire registration fee will be refunded minus any administrative fees charged.

DO YOU HAVE A PAYMENT PLAN?

The TWYFL does offer payment plans.  Please select it when registering to see the schedule of payments. There is a small fee associated with the plan. Payment Plans are to be paid by credit/debit card only.

DOES MY CHILD NEED A PHYSICAL EXAM?

No but is highly recommended if possible. Parents are required to sign a waiver prior to registration.

CAN MY CHILD PLAY A GRADE UP IN A DIVISION?

A player has the option to play up one age group at the discretion of the player's family and pending TWYFL Board approval. Players are not allowed to play down, unless they are directed by the TWYFL Board.

WHAT TIME ARE GAMES?

Games are normally played between the hours of 10am-4pm every Saturday. Games may also be played on weekdays with start times usually at 6pm.

DO THE CHILDREN HAVE TO DO THE FUNDRAISER?

Yes unless you choose the buyout option when registering. Fundraising is a key factor in our success. All players and parents are asked to support the league's efforts to provide funding for equipment, facilities, officials, and other needs of the program. These activities include selling trash bags and buying supplies for the fundraising baskets. Our success in fundraising allows us to maintain one of the lowest registration fees in the county.

DOES EVERY PLAYER RECEIVE A TROPHY?

Football Players that participate in the championship games will receive trophies.

At the conclusion of each game each coach will chose a player as Player of the Game for that week. The award is normally a t-shirt and some sort of gift card.  The league will present the award during the week and the player's picture will be taken to be displayed on TWYFL social media.
