Dear Ridgefield Raiders Parents,
It is hard to believe that in three short months the Ridgefield Raiders Football and Cheerleading season begins! For the Fall 2010 Season, we have joined the Fairfield County Football League (FCFL) which includes teams from the towns of Darien, Fairfield, New Canaan, Norwalk, Westport and Wilton. As we transition into the FCFL you will see many enhancements to our procedures. Practice will begin Monday, August 16 with a 5 day a week practice schedule until the start of school, and then a 3 day per week practice schedule with games on Saturday or Sunday.
In this registration packet you will find information and forms that need to be filled out and returned before your child can participate as a football player or cheerleader. ONLINE REGISTRATION and PAYMENTat www.ridgefieldyouthfootball.org is strongly encouraged to cut down on the paper forms and to consolidate all of the information into our online database. The following is a brief description of the forms and requirements for 2010:
1. 2010 Registration Forms (These forms are ALL part of the Online Registration Process)
-
Registration Form
-

2. Doctor Certification (Medical Form)/ Emergency Contact Form
(HOLD—DO NOT MAIL! You will hand in this form at Equipment Pickup):
This form will be in the possession of the Coach at all games and practices. It will be used in the event that a parent / legal guardian is not present during an emergency. VERY IMPORANT: if your child’s physical is not scheduled until after August 16 of this year, the physician can still sign this form! In fact, you may wish to drop the form at the physicians office to have it signed ASAP so as not to delay completion of your child’s registration and to avoid the summer camp form rush. Your child WILL NOTparticipate in Football OR Cheer until this form and all others are completed correctly and turned in by the dates indicated.
