2013 Football & Cheerleading Registration

     Beginning on December 1 2012, we will accept registrations for the 2013 season from current football players, cheerleaders and mascots, as well as new eight-year old football players (age as of December 1, 2013) and new cheerleaders.

     To assure your child of an initial spot on next year’s roster, you must complete the following three steps no later than March 10, 2013:

     (1) Pay the registration fee ($100 for football players/$50 for cheerleaders) at the time of registration.

     (2) Post a deposit ($100 for football players/$50 for cheerleaders).  If you fulfilled your Parent Service Time obligation and if you returned all equipment/uniforms on November 18 (see above) in a clean and acceptable condition, your current deposit will automatically be rolled over to next season.  If you forfeited your deposit because you failed to complete your Parent Service Time requirement or because you failed to turn in all equipment on November 18 in a clean and acceptable condition, you must post a new deposit when registering for next season by EQUIPMENT HAND-OUT.

     (3) Purchase raffle tickets ($100).  If you have more than two participants in our program, you only need to purchase raffle tickets for the first two. Raffle ticket payment is not due until EQUIPMENT HAND-OUT.    

     If you, as the parent of a returning player, do not complete the requirements noted above by the deadline, your child will forfeit his/her spot on the roster on March 11.

         On March 11, 2013, open registration for children residing within franchise territory will begin on a first-come, first-served basis, pending the availability of roster spots.

     New players residing outside of franchise territory are not eligible to register or join a waitlist until July 1, 2013, pending the availability of roster space. 

     If your child will not be returning for the 2013 season, you may request a refund of your security deposit after November 18 by filling out and mailing the Refund Request form, located on our web site (www.dearbornlions.org), to DYFA, PO Box 1995, Dearborn, MI. 48121-1995.  Refunds will be processed in January of 2013.

     Please address any registration questions to our Administrator at administrator@DYFA.org.
