Second Registration Saturday

We had 21 register at the first FCCJC registration for 6th grade football. That was by far the most of any grade in our area. Three of those players are brand new to tackle football! We are monitoring the numbers, but at this point it appears that we will have four teams again (including Coach Swinford's in the Blue Valley league) though the teams may be a little larger than they were last year. At the bottom of this post find a list of those that have signed up so far in FCCJC.

The second FCCJC sign up is this Saturday, June 11th, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., out at the Heritage Football complex at 162nd & Pflumm.  To get signed up for football, you need

• Your son, for weigh-in and equipment fitting if renting
• Proof of age and grade. This can be
• His player card from a previous season, OR
• A copy of his birth certificate and a copy of a grade card from this year
• A credit card or check to pay the equipment rental fee ($60) at the sign up, if you will be renting equipment

You may optionally bring

• Your own shoulder pads and helmet if you are not renting. They must be checked by FCCJC before you can practice wearing them.
  
• An FCCJC Equipment Reimbursement Request form. If you are renting your equipment, and your family is suffering from financial hardship, you may be eligible for an equipment fee reimbursement. Turn in that filled out form with your rental check or credit card payment to apply for reimbursement.
  
• Funds ($165) to pay the league fee (credit card or check) if you wish to pre-pay. You will still receive raffle tickets that you can sell to offset the league fee, but many parents prefer to pay at sign-up time. If you choose not to pay at this time, the league fee check must be turned in to your coach or team administrator by August 3rd.
  
• Funds ($20) to pay for a physical examination at the sign up. You may also use your own doctor by getting them to fill out this physical form. The physical form is to be handed to the coach at or before the first practice.

Based on the first sign up, the lines really die down about 11:00 a.m. - you can pretty much get right through, very little waiting.

The next available registration date is Saturday, June 25th.

Coach Todd Dain of Olathe Northwest will be the head coach of an FCCJC football camp out at Heritage Park next week. Seems like it will be a fun camp. You can see the brochure by clicking this link.

First Last Registration Ever

The first registration for the 2011 season is this Saturday, May 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. out at the FCCJC football complex.

With 7th grade football in the Olathe middle schools now, this is the last time we will all be standing in line to get our kids signed up for football. We probably won't miss that part of it.

Remember to bring

• Your kid for weigh in
• Proof of age and grade (player card, or birth certificate and grade card)
• Check or credit card for equipment rental ($60)

See many of you on Saturday!

Registration Begins Saturday

Football registration begins this Saturday!  Our club is tracking 71 named players that have either played with us before or expressed an interest. We expect to have four teams - one will play in the Blue Valley League, and three will play in FCCJC.

Not all of those 71 will play - but others will sign up that we don't know about today, so we could certainly approach 70 players. I believe that we will have the largest fifth grade football club in the Kansas City area.

The first FCCJC sign-up is this Saturday from 10 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. out at the Heritage Park football complex at 162nd and Pflumm.

Coach Darius Lecthenberger sent an E-Mail to the Blue Valley league prospects this morning about their sign up process, which also begins this Saturday.

Below are the details - be sure you sign up for the league in which you intend to play.

Blue Valley League Sign Up Process (Swinford)

1. Register on-line. On this site - http://bvfc.goalline.ca/ there is a menu option on the left that says On-Line registration. You can pay the league fee ($210) by credit card during the registration. Be sure to list Coach Swinford as the coach.
2. Attend the equipment checkout on Saturday, May 22nd, 8-11am, at the offices of Blue Valley Football Club, located at 6730 W. 153rd St., Overland Park, KS 66223
1. If you can't make that equipment check-out, there will be four other equipment check-out sessions at Lakewood Middle School throughout the summer (6/12, 6/26, 7/10, and 7/17).
2. Be sure to bring your receipts from on-line registration to the equipment check-out that you attend
3. If you are a new player to the Blue Valley Football Club, you will need to bring BOTH a copy of your birth certificate AND a current grade report or student ID. You must have both items to register with the league, as they have both age and grade specific registration.
3. If you have any questions at all about the process or what you need, E-Mail Coach Darius Lechtenberger at darius@lm-energy.com.

FCCJC Sign Up Process (Adam)

1. Attend one of the five registration Saturdays at Heritage Football Complex at 162nd and Pflumm. The dates include this Saturday, 5/22, as well as 6/12, 6/26, 7/10, and 7/24. They go from 10 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the lines can be long early.
2. If you are a returning player, bring your FCCJC player card to registration. If you are a new player (or can't find your player card) bring a copy of your birth certificate and a grade card or student ID proving your grade.
3. There are three potential fees that you can pay at registration
1. Raffle tickets - these are yours as part of your registration price, available to sell to family and and friends if you prefer, or to buy outright at registration for your own use. They cost $160, and if you would rather sell them and pay later, the team will collect the money for them in mid August. Whether you buy them yourself or sell them to others, you can use them to enter a drawing for some pretty good prizes passed out in mid September.
2. Equipment rental - if you will  be renting equipment (shoulder pads and helmet) from the league, the rental price is $65.00. If you have your own equipment, you should bring it with you to registration to be checked and verified.
3. Physical - a doctor's physical is required. You may use your own physician as long as the physical has been performed no earlier than February 1, 2010. Or, if it is more convenient, you may use the doctor present at the registration. The fee for the registration physical is $20.
4. At registration you will be weighed and fitted for any equipment you rent. See more specific information right here or contact Coach Adam at any time at CoachJimAdam@gmail.com
