Code of Conduct Form - Please click on the following link and print out the LFBC Parent/Player code of conduct form. This form needs to be read, signed and returned with your registration information. Most towns have already mandated a code of conduct agreement with their coaches, parents and players that requires those individuals to adhere to specific guidelines on how we are to conduct ourselves, both at games and during practices. It is necessary for all players and parents to read the code of conduct and act within these guidelines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Registration Fee - The registration fee for the 2015 football season will be $125.00. Currently, payment can only be made by check or cash.

 

Football is a very expensive sport to run and although the organization works to defer as much cost from the player families as possible through fundraising and donations, the cost of procuring and maintaining equipment, uniforms, and paying a very high cost for referees always make it a challenge to keep costs down. A full breakdown of the costs associated with running the program is available to the public, but must be obtained from the Little Ferry Boys Club Treasurer.

 

 

Equipment Deposit - An equipment deposit of $100.00 is required prior to your player receiving their full set of gear. Cash will be accepted, but it is strongly suggested that you provide a check for this deposit as it is easier to track the payments we hold and safer for you. All players above the Flag Football level will receive a helmet, shoulder pads, rib guards, practice pants and a practice jersey. Game uniforms will also be provided by the program. Outfitting a player with new equipment costs in excess of $250.00. Although we reuse/refurbish equipment as long as possible, football is very demanding on the player uniforms and requires replacement on a regular basis. If equipment is not returned at the end of the season, the club may deposit and use part or all of your deposit check to replace missing football gear.

 

 

Spikes and socks - Parents are required to purchase football spikes or any spikes with molded plastic bottoms only. Metal spikes and spikes with removable plastic cleats are not permitted by the league.

 

Any type of athletic sock is acceptable for practice, however, game socks will be provided for your player and must be worn during games. The only exception will be during the month of October, where players will be allowed to wear pink socks in support of Breast Cancer awareness month.

 

 

Practice - Our current expectation is to start practice on August 1st at Bassano Field starting at 6:00 PM. Practice will run approximately 90 - 120 minutes. We will try to provide water during practice, but you are welcome to let your player bring additional water or sports drinks. Practice will be held every weekday until school starts. When school commences, practice will be limited to three (3) days per week. Practice schedules will be assigned by level and it is possible that each level will have a different schedule of practice dates. Note: The Flag Football program does not follow the same guidelines as the three contact levels. 

 

 

Games - Games may be played on Friday evening or  Saturday (day or evening). PeeWee teams beginning at a specified time. No set times are set for the Junior and Senior level because exact time limits are not imposed on previous level play. Assume most games to last between 60 - 90 minutes. Flag football does not follow a set schedule and information regarding any game play will be provided in the near future.

 

 

Travel - A portion of our games are played away in other towns. Buses may or may not be provided to take your player to and from the games. You are welcome to take your player to games, but you must arrive with the rest of the team. You are also welcome to take your player home after games, however, you must inform the head coach that you are doing so as your child's well being  cannot be compromised and the coaching staff has certain responsibilities to ensure their safety. Technically, coaches are not permitted to transport your players in personal vehicles unless specific consent has been granted by a parent or guardian.
