Volunteer Participation

Our football club relies completely on parent/guardian and family participation to realize a fun and successful season. It is an expectation of registration that each player's parent/guardian(s) and/or family will assist in some capacity during the season by volunteering for duties at games or community events.  

There are many areas where volunteers are needed throughout the football season. Coaches, team managers, equipment managers, and first-aiders (aka “trainers”) are all volunteer positions. Game day volunteers are also required to help with sideline duties, time keeping, announcing, videography, field setup, and other operational tasks. Previous experience in any of these areas is not necessary. 

 

Friend Requests

There are many factors that go into team formation, including but not limited to coaching and team staff availability, player ability and experience, league guidelines, etc. Due to these factors, we are not accepting friend requests. 

 

Fee Assistance Options

SAMFA is committed to allowing all players who want to play football a chance to play. If you feel you are unable to pay our fees, please email the Registrar before registration to discuss payment plan options.

If you are planning to apply for Kidsport or Jumpstart, you will still have to follow the agreed-upon payment plans. Once approved, and SAMFA has received the money, we will reimburse and cancel remaining payments up to the allotted amount.

*Kidsport St.Albert up to $400 per child/year, Jumpstart up to $600 per child/year*
