New families to the RFL often ask about location
and dates of practice. This is a team specific
issue. All “inside teams” practice within the
Rockville/Potomac area. Please see
All You Need
to Know About
the RFL for more information.
Schedules and game days are also outlined in the
article.
-
New Players must use the
New Player
Form. You will not be able to select a
team only a Division. You will be able to
request a team or coach once you start the
registration form.
Players will be placed after June 1
based on RFL rules and team roster spaces
available.
-
Returning Players
must use the button
under Returning Players.
Returning Players are those that played in the RFL in the Fall of 2009
or Fall 2010. First time RFL
Spring Flag players in 2011 are not
Returning Players for registration purposes and
must wait until June 1 to register.
Priority for Returning Players ends on June 1.
-
If you are a Returning Player and the
team you played for last year or the team you
are supposed to move up to is full you must
select the "2011 (Your Division) Football
Sign-Up option. DO NOT SELECT ANOTHER
TEAM. There is still a good chance you
will make the roster if you are registering
before June 1.
-
If you are
trying to register for a Blessed Sacrament team
that is full you should register using "2011 (Your Division) Football
Sign-Up option. DO NOT SELECT ANOTHER
TEAM unless you want to play for that team.
If you will not consider another team then In
the Request Team or Coach box enter Blessed
Sacrament.
This will put you on a waiting list. At
this time it is unlikely there will be space on
the Intermediate team for Fall 2011. You
will have until July 15 to request a refund
(less the $25 processing fee) if a roster spot
does not open up. After July 15 you can
remain on the waiting list or accept
placement on another team but there will be no
refunds.
-
Waivers for
medical reasons must be initiated by a letter
from a physician stating the medical condition that
requires the request. Size and/or age in
of itself will not qualify for a Waiver.
Waivers to move to a different team will only be
considered if there is a documented issue
between a player and /or parent and a coach that
will be coaching the player in the coming
season or if a player was assigned to a team
outside his territory in the previous season due
to roster space.
To have a Waiver considered you must first
register for the team you are supposed to play
on and then follow the instructions for
submitting Waiver Requests: Waiver Form
-
Spring Flag teams and coaches have no bearing on
Fall team assignments. Please refer to the
Registration Primer
for details.

If you are a
New Player, you will be asked to select
Football and then what
Division (ie; Ankle Biter, Pony etc.) You
will not be able to choose a team name unless
you are registering for Blessed Sac.
New Players will be assigned
after June 1 in the order they registered (date and time). There is a field in the
registration application to request a coach
and/or a specific team. We will do our best to
fill requests based on team boundaries and
roster space.
-
Make sure that when you enter the Registration
System you create a new account if it is your
first time using the process. The first
screen has a box on the left for "First Time
Users" which it defaults to a box on the
right for "Returning Users". Do not
confuse "Returning Player" with "Returning
User". Whether you have played before or
not you are a "First Time User" until you create
your account. This is only done once.
If you played in the RFL anytime since 2007 you
will be a "Returning User" and always use the
initial account you created, in fact all of your
information will be there and the process will
take about 2 minutes. If you want to
register another family member that has not
played before you will access the account you created
for the first family member
and almost all of your information will already
be entered.
