In addition, you will find a Word file detailing the 2009 AAU competition rules in our DOCUMENTS section.
As previously announced our Senior Division enrollment numbers are minimal. As of the morning of July 1, we have logged an official number of 17 registrants.
The FYF Board of Directors has made a conscious effort to facilitate these registrants, as we feel those committed to FYF deserve to participate and continue to learn the fundamental of tackle football.
After months of research we have found that the AAU program may be able to assist FYF in accomplishing this goal.
The following will be the structure of this program.
Team Structure
North, South and Central (if we can pull that many teams together)
Required minimum of 20 players
No more than 30 players
Team recruiting minimum of 20 players
Recruiting allowed outside the county
14 year old participant permitted, per current AAU birth date of August 1st
AAU coaching staff rules apply (minimum of 3; maximum of 6)
Number of plays per game rule, does not apply
Player should play in each game
FYF Responsibilities
Name each team
Supply uniforms for each team
Supply equipment for each team
Supply practice location
Supply AAU approved game field location
Schedule games for each team (home and away)
Obtain AAU membership for each team
Participant Responsibilities
Provide proof of eligibility (walker ID, passport and/or military ID)
Supply transportation to and from game events
Provide participant fee for any/all tournament games
Obtain FYF approved sponsorship for team and/or events. (Team effort)
FYF must acknowledge to these parents that AAU is a travel league, something that our members are not use too. Please know that FYF is making every effort to keep as many games at home as possible, in addition to keeping the travel distance at a minimum. Team schedules will be released to the head coaches as soon as they are available.
Due to the timing of this decision your board of directors has decided to extent the $125.00 fee to AAU registrants, ONLY.
