Decisions will be based on the individual's ability to maintain focus and execute a series of complicated directions. TBD by Cheer Director and the Parent)

CASH CALENDARS
SALES OF CASH CALENDARS ARE MANDATORY. UNIFORMS AND GEAR WILL NOT BE RELEASED TO PLAYERS AND CHEERLEADERS UNLESS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CALENDARS ARE SOLD AND MONEY FOR SAME HAS BEEN TURNED IN TO THE LEAGUE! This is a fundraiser we have year after year and many other leagues do the same exact fundraiser as well. Our registration fee barely covers the cost of your childs jersey and equipment that we have to replace yearly and insurance to cover your child. We have many many more costs that go into playing football that registration fees do not cover which is where fundraising comes into play. Cash calendars not only help the league to raise money to cover EMT fees, field fees, referee fees, etc... but it also gives back to our parents and the community and awards those who have purchased the cash calendars. Everyday as soon as the drawing starts someone wins money throughout the season. Without our fundraisers our program would not exist. Without the support of you, our parents, our families, our community OYFL wouldn't be here for the kids. So thank you for taking the time to help your child sell his or her cash calendars which then in turn helps out the league keep running smoothly year after year. Thank you for all you do!
PHYSICALS
Physicals are required for both cheer and football players! We will hold one date, after that you must see your own doctor. Forms can be downloaded from our Forms/Handouts Tab on this site. Please make three copies upon turning your form in to us. Forms are due no later than the first day of conditioning or your child can not start conditioning until it is turned in.
TURF FIELDS
There are absolutely no food, drinks, sunflower seeds, dogs etc... on all turf fields. This includes Santa Maria, Pioneer, St. Joes and Righetti. Please help us by following these rules so we can continue to use these fields. Do not send your child with any beverage on the field beside water. If you have a sports beverage for them they must drink it in the stands only. There is also no smoking on these fields at all.Thanks in advance for following the rules of the fields. They are not our rules but the rules of the schools. Thank you.
FINGERPRINTING
All new coaches and team moms who are badged must be fingerprinted prior to receiving a badge. Even if you have coached before but have had a lapse in coaching you must go get refingerprinted.
