GRADE BASED DIVISIONS:
When registering your player it goes by their grade. The age cut off is only in place to prevent a child in the same grade who would be considered too old compared to the other children in that division. We are grade first, then age cutoff.
* Player/Family Hardship scholarship applications available. Contact CKYA Registrar for more information.
Uniforms: Players will be issued a practice jersey, helmet, and shoulder pads on gear issue days. On those days game day jerseys will be sized and players will be able to pick top 3 numbers of choice. Game day jerseys will have players names on the back and the price of the jersey is included in your registration fee. You will get to keep your game day jersey.
Gear Issue: Gear issue days will be held in the middle of July (exact dates TBD) if you do not show up to your given gear issue day there is a chance your child will not have a game day jersey in time for the first game. If gear is not returned after the football season, you will be fined $250 and will not be able to play the following year until it is paid or the gear is returned.
