Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register?

This year you can register online directly from this website including uploading all required documents ie, birth certificate, and proof of grade. The remaining required documents will be able to be signed with electronic signatures! 

Physicals and any volunteer or equipment checks will be collected at the parent meetings. 

All required documents must be submitted/turned in before first practice (July 27th, 2026.) 

How do I get my athlete measured for uniforms?

Cheer: 3pm-7pm. Last names A-M 3pm-5pm. Last names N-Z 5pm-7pm.

Will you cash my equipment and volunteer checks?

GBYFC is run solely by volunteers, and we rely on the support of our families to help our home games run smoothly. A fully refundable $100 volunteer check is required at the start of the season for each athlete. Families are asked to volunteer for one hour per athlete during the season. Once your required volunteer hour(s) have been completed, your $100 volunteer check may be picked up directly from our Volunteer Coordinator.

A $300 equipment check is required to ensure all program equipment is properly cared for and returned at the end of the season. This check will be held and shredded once all issued equipment has been returned. Equipment turn-in dates will be October 26–29 or November 2–5, depending on playoff status.

How old does my child need to be?

For flag football or mascot cheer, your child should be 5 years old by August 1st of the current year.  

For tackle football and cheer, your child must turn 8 by November 1st of the current year.

What is my volunteer requirement? What do I have to volunteer for?

We rely on parent volunteers to help run the three home games. We will not have the volunteer sign-up ready until August, once we know how many athletes register. and then we can determine how many hours families will be required to sign up for (normally 1-2 hours per season). Positions may include ticket sales, 50/50, clock, spotters, announcer, chain gang, field set up, field clean up, concession sales, etc. If you do not wish to volunteer, you may pay the $100 fee up front.
