2025 FOOTBALL INFORMATION

Registration Fees:

The registration fees are used to cover most of the various expenses for the football season. The breakdown of the fees are as follows:

2025 Registration total: $300.00

Raffle $60
Our raffle fundraiser is a MANDATORY part of every players participation (30 tickets valued at $2 each). Our raffle fundraiser is our way of helping parents recoup some of the investment of registration if you choose to sell them. The money raised from selling the tickets is yours to keep as reimbursement for the up-front payment you made during registration. Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or even all of the raffles so that you have multiple entries to put into the drawing. The raffle drawing usually occurs in the beginning of the season and is noted on the ticket. Winners will be announced via social media ( Facebook, website,etc.)

Spirit Fee $25
The spirit fee from registration is submitted to each team manager per player towards the purchase of spirit items decided for the season.

Other cost: $215
The remaining funds are to purchase uniforms, field/park maintenance, start of season association fees, equipment, and game day expenses.

Team Volunteers – Every weekend that your team plays at home, your team mom will be required to schedule parent volunteers to cover the following areas:

THREE volunteers to work in the park for the 90 minutes PRIOR to all home games. Your team's shift will begin an hour and 45 minutes prior to your game's start time and end 15 minutes prior to the start of your game.
THREE volunteers for chain gang DURING your game.

Please be prepared to volunteer for your team at least once during the season.

Equipment Needed
DAA will provide the uniforms. Each family must provide their own player's helmet (Vegas Gold), shoulder pads, 7-piece pads for the pants, and practice apparel (practice pants), cleats, and a mouth piece that attaches to the helmet. You may also need to provide a girdle depending on the style of the pants from season to season.
