 Tuesday, March 10th, 6pm to 8pm ~ Tyngsboro High School Auditorium - This will also be our annual Parent Meeting - we will discuss some exciting changes that are happening in the 2009 season - This is a must for any new families considering the football or cheer programs we offer. We strongly encourage our veteran football parents to attend as we will now be participating in a different AYF division and this will be your chance to find out all the details.

4) FOOTBALL WEIGHTS: We will participate in American Youth Football's "All American Conference" for the upcoming 2009 season.

REQUIRED PAPERWORK
The following paperwork is required of all Participants in our program. PLease complete all of the paperwork in the Football or Cheerleading Registration Package that you can download on-line and turn in with your payment when you register your child. (Birth Certificates, Report Cards, Doctor Consent Forms can be turned in at a later date, but PLEASE do NOT WAIT on these. If these items are not in hand for the first night of practice, your child will not be able to participate until the documents are received. Thank you for your cooperation.)
1) Football or Cheerleading Registration Package - ALL FORMS IN THIS PACKAGE MUST BE COMPLETED & TURNED IN AT REGISTRATION with Payment: You will need to download either the Football or Cheerleading Registration package available on our ONLINE FORMS Page. You will need to complete all of the attached forms which include the: Registration Form, The Parent Code of Conduct; The Cheerleader/Football Player Code of Conduct and the Doctor Consent Form (which needs to be signed/stamped/dated by your child's doctor.) These forms must be read and signed by both the player/cheerleader and the parent and returned with payment when you register your child. Click HERE do download these packages.
2) Birth Certificate: AYF requires that we have a birth certificate that has a RAISED SEAL on it. Please bring this original RAISED SEAL copy along with a photocopy. We will keep BOTH the raised seal copy and the photocopy until AYF certifies our books. This usually happens sometime in September. We will return the RAISED SEAL copy after we are certified. If you do not have a RAISED SEAL copy, you should call the town hall of the city/town where you lived when your child was born in order to obtain a copy. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. (If you are a veteran player/cheerleader, we will probably have a certified copy on file and you will not need this)
3) Photocopy of the Above Birth Certificate: This is in ADDITION to the original raised stamp birth certificate. This will be reviewed and stamped by the CMYFCC and this will be the one that we will keep on file throughout your child's participation with Tyngsboro Youth Football & Cheerleading. (If you are a veteran player/cheerleader, we will probably have a certified copy on file and you will not need this )
4) ORIGINAL Report card from 2008-2009 Season: Must be a complete school year so we would need for this to be sent to us after the last term’s report card is issued in June 2009. Please make sure all sides are copied so that all grades and the year of report card are showing. This is for our scholastic program. We can accept photo-copies for Cheerleaders. However in 2009 we need to have ORIGINAL Report Cards for all football players due to the change to All-American Division which is 'grade, not age' based.
5) Additional AYF Required Paperwork: In addition to the above paperwork, after your register your child and we have had the chance to input your information into the 2009 software, you will be given addition American Youth Football paperwork to complete and sign as required by AYF.
Please remember that the American Youth Football Association has strict rules regarding required paperwork. If each item above is not received by TYFC on or before AUGUST 10th, 2009 than the participant will not be allowed to practice or play games. Thank you for your understanding and compliance with this.
