Membership Dues
Team Membership dues for the season are $200 for all players and will be filled on a first come first served basis. Despite the best intention's, final rosters may leave a player unable to complete the season as active, on-field participants. As we always will welcome players to remain connected and participate in other ways, some will opt not to. So in good faith, if a player does not make final roster and opts to no longer remain involved, he will be entitled to a refund of his dues. If a player is chosen as part of the final roster and opts not to participate, dues will NOT be refunded. In the same respect, if a player opts out prior to final roster determination, dues will NOT be refunded.
Roster Limits
By league regulations, each team can only have a maximum roster of 50 players. We will carry 45 active players. Each player will be active on the 45 man roster for a minimum of 8 games. As much as we consider our organization to be a football team, we also like to be known as a brotherhood, extending ourselves to our members.
Roster Requirements
Each player is required to have signed a waiver, contract, payed team dues in full and attend regularly scheduled practices to be active on the teams regular season Roster.
Equipment
Each player is required to provide their own protective equipment. Such as helmet, mouth piece, shoulder pads, cleats, girdle, hip pads, tail pad, knee pads & thigh pads. We will do our best to direct players to places to where they can purchase their own equipment, however it is ultimately the players responsibility to get the above mentioned gear.
