W I N T E R   S E A S O N   F A Q ‘ S

 

When does registration open?

Oct 1st 

When does the season start?

The season will run from January 9  - February 13. You will have 4 games over 3 weeks or 4 games over 4 weeks, followed by playoffs. Playoffs should end Feb 13th unless we have unforeseen weather issues or field availability.

Before the game. Practice will be minimal.

Cleats, mouth guard, BLACK SHORTS with no pockets. 

How can I volunteer to coach?

Please fill out the Coach's volunteer form linked above. 

If I coach more than one team will FNL arrange my  game schedules  to avoid conflicts in time and location?

ONLY if you are the HEAD COACH of multiple teams. FNL cannot adjust schedules to accommodate coaches who serve as a head coach for one team and an assistant coach for other teams.

How many players per team?

Each team will have nine or ten players with free substitutions. No need to wait until the end of each quarter to sub in. 

Can my child play on multiple teams?

No. Each player is allowed to only play on one team. Since every season there is a waitlist, we want to allow for as many kids as possible to play.

Can I request a friend? 

We try our best to honor requests, however, this is not a guarantee that this request can be granted. Groups of 3 or more friends will not be placed on the same team unless a parent is willing to be the head coach. 

How much does it cost?

$225

Can I get a refund?

Refunds of $145 are available until Dec 15th, after this point no refunds will be given.

Is the uniform provided?

Jerseys and flags are included in the registration price. Black shorts are not and must be purchased on their own.

Does FNL have extra jerseys on hand?

Unfortunately we do not have extra jerseys on hand. They will need to be ordered separately. Ordering jerseys takes 10-14 days for ordering, processing and delivery.
