All first time players & cheerleaders, MUST provide a COPY of their birth certificate at the time of registration!
Football Roster Limitations
Each football team competing in the AAYFDT is allowed a maximum of 25 players to be registered. Therefore, on occasion, not everyone registering is guaranteed a position on a roster. Due to returning or “LEGACY” players, many spots on the teams will have already been taken.
Priority for registration is given as follows:
- “LEGACY” players.
- New registrants who have a “LEGACY” sibling.
- Early registration, first come, first served.
- Open registration.
In the instance of having more registrants than positions available on a given team, the Rams Board will use a lottery system to determine the players who make the team. This selection process is done at random so every new player registrant, has an equal chance of being selected. Those registrants who are not selected for a spot on a team will receive a full refund immediately. The Rams Board strongly recommends early registration.
Eligibility Requirements
- Any player/cheerleader who participated in the previous season with the Klein Rams/Sweethearts has “LEGACY” rights and can re-register with the Klein Rams Booster Club (KRBC) for the upcoming season assuming the participant still meets the age and/or weight requirements. This is true even if the participant has since moved from the Klein Rams Booster Club (KRBC) attendance zone.
- Any new participant may register with the KRBC, regardless of residential address, provided that a sibling is currently a member of the KRBC and the new participant meets the age and/or weight requirements.
- Participants registering with the KRBC who have not themselves played before and do not have any legacy rights to the KRBC, must then live within the KRBC attendance zone.
- Those new registrants must be zoned to attend the schools in the Stract district..
- Participants who live in these zones but attending private schools are also eligible to register with the KRBC.
- A participant's age on June 1 (of the current year) is their legal playing age for the purpose of our programs. They must be not less than 7 and not more than 12 years of age by this date. Seven year olds can play on the freshman team for two years.
- Participants must be in 6th grade or lower in the school year corresponding to the current play season.
- Football Players must also meet weight minimum and maximim requirements.
