When are
registrations
held?
Check our calendar of events section for
dates and times.
While we encourage all participants to register on the date and time specified,
special circumstances may warrant consideration.
Cheerleading registration will end (no exceptions) upon the conclusion of
uniform fittings as noted in our
calendar of
events section. Once uniforms are ordered, no applications will be accepted.
Football registration will end by the second week of the season. ACC rules
prohibit us from adding players to our roster after our final roster has been
submitted to the league. The YAPM may close registrations earlier based on a
teams total enrollment. Please check with the
head coach or football commissioner prior to
mailing application.
Please be sure to read the "I missed the registration date. Can I still
register my child?" section listed above.
You can download the registration forms from our
website and mail them to us. Your application acceptance is dependant upon the
submission of all completed applications and forms, must be signed by a parent
or legal guardian and must be received and processed prior to the dates listed
above in the "I missed the registration date. Can I still register my child?"
.
The cost to participate is listed on the
YAPM
registration form.
No. Any form from your doctor stating your child is physically fit to
participate is acceptable.
No. You must have your child at practice 5 minutes before your scheduled
practice time and you MUST arrive 15 minutes before the
end of practice. By arriving 15 minutes before the end of practice,
coaches will have ample time to discuss with you any concerns regarding your
child.
Think Safety! - Be there on-time or contact your coach when needed to
advise them of a delay. Especially the younger children in our program. We're sure
any coach would take a few extra minutes to stay with your child in the event of
a delay in arrival.
It is also mandatory to have an emergency contact during practice hours in
the event of illness or injury.
Do not leave siblings at the field unattended. Coaches are responsible for
the supervision of players only.
Communicate!
Football practices and games are cancelled on the field
and are decided by the field conditions, anticipated conditions, and/or
direction of school authorities.
Players should arrive at the field to plan on
practice or a game.
If known in advance, a posting will be made to this YAPM
website
First year player weigh-in required documents.

First year players MUST
provide (viewed by league representative) an original birth certificate with a

We must have a photo of the
participant on file prior to weigh-in. (You can also bring a photo to the
official weigh-in if one is not on file)
You must provide
some official proof of age document such as a Baptismal Certificate.
A copy of my child's birth certificate was submitted with
my registration forms.
Do I need to provide another copy at weigh-in?
No, we only need one copy.
If you're a first
year player, you MUST produce (show) the original raised seal birth
certificate
at weigh-in.
Do returning players need copies of their birth
certificate?
No, we will
use the copy we have on file from the previous year. Just bring yourself.
Do I need to bring a photo of my child to weigh-in?
Only if you
have not previously submitted a photo to us. When in doubt, bring a photo.
If you are a
returning player or if you submitted a photo prior to weigh-in, you do not need
to bring a photo.
When is the YAPM official weigh-in?
Please
check our calendar of events page.
I can't make the scheduled weigh-in. How can I get my
child weighed-in?
The player will be weighed in at
their first game. Make sure to bring any required documents
with you.
Please address your concern or grievance in the following order.
-
Coach or Head Coach - Address your issue directly with the coach or head coach. Please talk with
your coach at a time that does not interfere with his/her practice. Taking
time to talk to parents during practice takes away from our kids time.
Kids first - then parents!
-
Football or Cheerleading Commissioners
-
Board Members
No, the Youth Association of Pocono Mountain is not affiliated with any
school or school district.
