When are your registrations?
Registration/Signups will be ONLINE from March 11-May1. Space on each team is limited and will be first come first serve following returning players.
What is the criteria for making the team?
Returning players register first and are guaranteed a spot. After returning registration all players are first come first serve. If we surpass maximum team size, then school attending will be used. Priority is then given to Almont students.
How many teams do you field?
We will have as many teams as we can fill but is decided by the smallest number per team level. for example, if we have 42 freshman and 60 JV, we will split the teams into 2 each. 21 each for freshman and 30 each for JV. however if we have 42 freshman and only 38 JV, both teams will be maxed at 35 players and we will only have 1 team each.
Where will you play?
We will be playing in the NYFL which includes Lapeer, Oxford, Lake Orion, Rochester, Brandon, Clarkston, and Waterford. Please see the NYFL website for complete list. Our practice field is located at the old Elementary School in Almont. We will have 4 home and 4 away games with the chance to host a playoff game or Superbowl.
