Registration Frequently Asked Questions

The following page contains a list of the most common questions or issues we have regarding registration. Please review to clarify any questions you may have. If you have a question that is not addressed here, please contact our Registrar at: registrar@westlinnyouthfootball.org

Q: I haven't received my confirmation email after registering. What should I do?

A: Please allow up to 24 hours.  If you still don't receive it, you can go into your account (go to Member Login) and print from there. After logging into your member account, select Past Registrations in the Account Options section and you should see a "Print Forms" button on the right hand-side of this year's registration.

Please check any "spam" or "junk" folders to see if the email was blocked. If so, please identify the sender account on that email as "not spam/junk" to ensure you receive future communications.

Q: I don't know what official boundary we live in. How can I get this information?

A: Please refer to our Boundary Information page to verify what boundary you're in and take the appropriate steps outlined there. Please do this before going through the registration process.

Q: Our doctor's office has their own sports physical forms that they use or I still have a form from a previous year. Can I use one of these forms when submitting my child's forms?

A: For compliance purposes, we do not and can not accept any other variations of a sports physical form, other than the one provided during this year's registration process. Forms from your physician's office or forms from prior years can not be accepted.

Additionally, please be sure that your physical form is signed, dated and has the phone number for their office.

Q: When do we get equipment and when do we start practicing, etc?

A: This information and other date related information can be found on our Key Dates page as it becomes available. Generally, we establish check out dates for two separate weekends as the season approaches. As the season nears, you will see league-wide communications regarding this topic as well.


Q: In the past, we've brought our friend's and neighbor's players with us to the equipment checkout. Is this still allowed?

A: Yes, if you know they have completed paperwork and if the child is physically present with you as gear is custom fit to each player for safety reasons. We will no longer be providing equipment to any player who does not have fully complete/compliant paperwork, we strongly recommend that a legal guardian accompany their child to the equipment checkout.  Remember, we're fitting equipment to your child so that they are safe.  

 


Q: What is included in the registration?

A: Your season registration includes:

  • Conditioning Camp run by West Linn HS staff and players
  • Practice Jersey (Tackle) and Game Day jersey
  • Team placement
  • Use of necessary football equipment
    • helmet, shoulder pads and football pants.
  • approximately 12 weeks (more if involved in playoffs!) of great exercise and fun for your player!

 


Q: What is WLYF refund policy?

A: Our current refund policy is the following:

The policy of West Linn Youth Football is to issue no refunds after a child has played in a sanctioned game or practice. Prior to playing in a sanctioned game or practice a refund of the registration fee less an administrative handling fee will be issued.  The refund policy for the program are as follows:

  • 100% refund when canceling prior to the start of Lion Conditioning Camp.
  • Partial refunds for cancelations after August 7th. 
  • Once placed on a team, no refunds.

 


Q: I'd like to coach or volunteer to help out my child's team. How do I sign up for that?

A: If you would like to be considered for a coaching role within the WLYF organization, please complete the Coaches registration process.  For additional details, please review the Coaching Information page.

If you have specific questions regarding coaching, please contact our Coaches Coordinator. We also recommend you take a look at our Volunteer Opportunities page to get additional information.


Q: Is financial assistance available or do you offer scholarships?

A: Any request for financial assistance and/or scholarship will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. To make a request of this kind, please review our Scholarship Information page for details. Any information shared for these purposes will remain strictly confidential.


Q: Can I make payments instead of paying in full, up front?

A: Yes, you are able to set up automated payments through our Automated Payment Plan. Here's how it works:

Automated Payment Plan - During the registration process, you will have the option of paying in full (by credit card or by check) or you can enroll in our automated payment plan. If you select this option, you are required to make an initial credit card payment of $150 to complete your registration. Upon enrollment, you will be automatically scheduled for up two additional payments, which will be collected on the 15th of June and the 15th of July.


Q: When is an Automated Payment Plan required?

A: An Automated Payment Plan is required for any account that is not paid-in-full at the time they wish to check out equipment. 


Q: Can we get equipment early?

Yes.  If you are attending a camp that is not affiliated with West Linn Youth Football, that requires full equipment, and you have completed registration for West Linn Youth Football, we can issue you equipment with sufficient advance notice.

 


Q: Is it possible to pay by check?

A: Though we prefer online payment registration, we certainly accept check payments. Please mail your registration payments to:

West Linn, OR 97068

Q: How are teams decided?

Players are evaluated by both the Youth and High School Coaches at the Mandatory Conditioning Camp. At the end of camp, all coaches for each grade level get together to average out their skill scores. Teams are then built using the skill numbers, with the objective being each team having an equal number of players with each skill number.

We cannot accommodate parent requests for players to be on certain teams. It is against the rules, and with 200 players, not possible. We will, however, make every effort to place siblings on same team, as long as the team has room for their skill numbers.
