Registration Information

Returning Participants

Returning participant registration will start in January and ends on March 31, 2010. Participants who are in good standing and who wish to return will have up to this date to sign up with full paperwork and registration fees to be placed on a roster. The paperwork and fees should be submitted to our mailing address above. Siblings of returning participants also can register at this time with full paperwork and registration fees. If the paperwork has been completed and registration fees submitted, you will be guaranteed a position on the roster. If they have NOT been submitted on or before this deadline, your child will then need to go through open registration and THEY WILL NOT BE GUARANTEED A ROSTER SPOT! For cheerleading, there are many girls expecting to return and teams will fill up with returners. The teams may be closed for open registration. So, please make sure you send in your child’s registration to ensure a roster spot!

New Participants

New participant registration will begin on April 1, 2010. New participants will not be guaranteed a roster spot. It will depend on the number of open roster spots per team.

Registration Fees for 2010

Registration Fees must be paid at the time of registration. This years fees are:

1st Child - $110
2nd Child - $90
3rd Child - $90

As for refunds, they will be handed with the following rules:
1. A full refund will be granted if a participant withdraws prior to the first day of practice.
2. A partial refund of the participant’s registration fee, minus a $50 administration fee and equipment cleaning fee, will be granted if a participant withdraws during the first or second week of practice.
3. No refunds are given if a participant withdraws later than the second week of practice.
4. Refunds will not be issued until all equipment and uniforms (excluding cheer personal items) are returned to the Jr. Royal Comets.

These fees DO NOT include any mandatory future fees and costs for cheerleading, estimated at $100 per cheerleader, regardless of siblings in the program. It also does not include any fundraising efforts.

Paperwork

One main difference this year is the requirement to complete ALL necessary paperwork and pay the FULL registration fees to be placed on a roster. This includes:
An AYFCL participant contract completely filled out including: Participant information. Participant pledge read and signed by participant. Permission to participate read and signed by parent. Procedure for medical attention read, filled out and signed. Medical coverage information filled out. Code of Conduct read and signed by parents. If you need a participant contracts, please download them from the AYFCL website www.ayfcl.org. A new 2” x 2” recent photo of your child. A new legible copy of your child’s birth certificate. A medical certificate which is either the lower section of the second page of the participant contract filled out or an equivalent written statement, dated and signed by a physician (with the exception listed below).
The Board of Directors understands that the medical certificate may be submitted at a later time due to a physical scheduled at a later time and will still place a child on the roster with all other paperwork completed. The medical certificate must be submitted before we can allow a participant to start practice. If you have a signed medical certificate dated after 8/1/2009, please submit it at this time as it will reduce future work.
Even if your child is a returning participant, we would like a new copy of their birth certificate as it will help in the paperwork. If you are a new participant, you will need to submit a legible copy.
