*A player may play up one year, but they cannot play down a year.
GAME SCHEDULES: To be published in August.
PRACTICE SCHEDULE: Practice Days/Times/Locations are all determined by the volunteer head coach assigned to your team (usually on weekday evenings or weekends near your home). *We limit all our sports to 3 events per week - games and practices.
TEAM FORMATION: Teams are formed by the CFISD school that your child attends. If we have too many players from any school, a team of neighboring schools will be made. This allows Coaches to facilitate practices in and or around your area for convenience. You are not required to attend school in CFISD to participate.
Players registering from the previous season (tackle divisions only) can LOCK IN with the previous team they played on if registering NO LATER THAN April 15, 2024. Teams are formed AFTER registration closes per CFSA Football rules, and it is CFSA policy to not release the registrant’s information to anyone other than the approved coach.
NOTIFICATION OF TEAM ASSIGNMENT: Team Rosters will be released to coaches by the end of July. Once the Head Coach receives the roster, he/she will contact the team and begin communication via the e-mail address listed in your child’s profile.
COACH SELECTION: CFSA has instituted an interview process for coach candidates. Coach candidates must register in the Coaches Registration Program (separate from the program where you register your child) to be considered. Head Coach Applicants are reviewed by the respective Division Commissioners (DC) and the candidates are required to attend an interview session with their DC and/or Directors. Coach selection will be based on the criteria set forth by the committee. Final approval from committee is then required to formalize the selection. Coaches are announced after team formations. A team may register no more than 4 Assistant Coaches. All Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches will have a background check run.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:
FLAG DIVISION:
REQUIRED: Mouthpiece
RECOMMENDED:
* Shorts without Pockets - CFSA recommends this because this will prevent your child from reaching for opponent’s flag and possibly getting hand stuck inside their pockets. Color to be determined by your Team Coach.
*Rubber cleats CFSA recommends this as fields may be damp on the mornings of game day. Metal cleats not allowed.
TACKLE DIVISION(S):
REQUIRED:
*Properly fitted Helmet - Helmet decals are coordinated with the head coach of each team and not provided by league
*Properly Fitted Shoulder Pads
*Mouthpiece
Please note: CFSA Football recommends all players seek fittings for helmet and shoulder pads at their local sporting goods retailer – Dick’s and/or Academy, before purchase. Although not a mandatory requirement, CFSA Football highly encourages a sports physical with your physician to ensure your child’s well-being.
RECOMMENDED:
*Rubber Cleats only. (CFSA prohibits metal cleats.)
*Practice Jersey/Pants – Various pants are offered for football players – with pads and without.
*Additional (and optional) equipment is available such as padded undershirts, padded arm sleeves, gloves, rib protectors, back plate for shoulder pads.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
· A $300 Mandatory Sponsorship per team is required.
· Team participation in a Fundraiser in order to offset the costs of keeping our program affordable among continued rising costs. Information to be forthcoming. You may opt out of participating by paying the $100 Opt-Out Fee when registering.
