 Formation of Teams:

Football Teams – Central Dekalb offers unlimited weight, single age group football. All kids are placed on a team regardless of size, experience, or ability. All kids that register in good faith will be placed on a team.  Tryouts will be used for placement purposes only. Central Dekalb will offer two different levels of play(if sufficient registration numbers allow) to make sure every kid is placed in an environment best suited for the development of that child. No kids are guaranteed to be placed on the team of their choice. Central Dekalb does not have a playing time rule, though all coaches are encouraged to get every kid in every game.

Cheerleading Teams – Tryouts will be used for placement purposes only, and all who sign up in good faith to participate may not be arbitrarily cut. Central Dekalb is a competitive program open to all skill levels.

Participants’ age is as of July 1 of the current year for football and cheer.

Cost:

The registration rate for all programs is outlined above

Out of county fee is $15.00.

Sponsorship Rewards:

We are giving each parent a chance to receive free registration through our park sponsorship program. Every parent that secures a sponsorship donation to the park of at least $500 will receive a free registration. This sponsorship program is for donations made to Central Dekalb of at least $500, and not any specific team. The sponsorship program grants one free registration for every $500 worth of sponsorship given directly to CDYFA. This does not include any portions that are given to your child’s team. If you have already registered your child, you will receive a registration refund for the amount you paid at registration. Registration reimbursement under this policy will be awarded once Central Dekalb receives the funds from the business entity.

 Form of Payment:

We accept cash, credit cards or money orders. All monies are due at the time of registration. No checks accepted.

State IDs:

All parents must provide the park with an original state ID card. They should be turned in to the child’s coach or team mom prior to August 1st.
