SCVAA Football Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register my son to play football?
Football registration begins the first day in May (1st) and is open until the last day in June (30th). We strongly recommend that you register on-line (see our website for registration links). Registrations after June 30th. are subject to a $50 late fee. Late registration is open until July 15, the $50 late fee applies, and players are placed on teams on a “space available basis” and must be approved by the football commissioner.
What football equipment do I need to provide for my son?
The VAA provides shoulder pads, helmet, a game jersey, and socks. You will need to provide football pants, athletic shoes, practice jersey and a mouth guard (must attach to helmet in 3rd-6th grade). Football Mouth guards will be sold during equipment nights or are also available at Dick’s Sporting Goods or or other sports stores.
What team will my son play on?
Team rosters are distributed right after the last football clinic. See the Football Playing Policies & Standards for team selection guidelines. If your son is not present at the last clinic day, his coach will contact you shortly afterward.
When and where are football practices held?
Your son’s coach will contact you regarding practice times and locations. Practices usually begin the Monday after the football clinic. Before school begins, coaches can schedule up to 4 practices per week. Once school begins, football events (includes games and practices) are limited to 3 per week.
