Following are some FAQs regarding the YSSFC. Please view the following questions. When you click on a question of special interest to you you will immediately scroll down to view the answer. If you have an other questions please feel free to
contact us.
Can I pay
my fee over time with a payment plan?
No. We have had nothing but trouble in the past with payment plans,
post dated cheques and the like. First, we feel we give all players
fair warning at least 4 months ahead of the fee due date so they may
get the money together. Second, we have to budget assuming all funds
from player fees are in on the date we set. We cannot budget
assuming monies will be spread out over the duration of the season.
Finally, we have found that a complete financial commitment by the
player results in a more committed player.
Top
When is my fee due?
Anytime up to and including pre-established registration dates. Only
after we receive your player fee (cheques cleared) will we issue
your equipment. See the information page for dates.
Top
Where does the money
from my fee go?
It goes to keep the Storm in business. Player fees will go toward;
Equipment purchases before and during the season League fees Stadium
rental Practice field permit Trainer fees and supplies bus/referees
Awards/trophies Website
Top
How can I pay my fee?
You can pay your fee by cheque, money order, Visa, Master Card or
cash. Cheques must be payable to the York Simcoe Storm Football.
Top
What do I have to
do to get a release?
Releases will rarely be granted and usually because a player has
moved. The League will check ID to prove living location. If we do
consider a release all fees must have been paid in full.
Top
Are there tryouts?
Do you cut players?
The Varsity roster will keep 55 players, 50 on active and 5 on
reserve. A reserve can be moved to the active roster as a result of
injury to an active roster player or other reasons. If we can equip
you we will keep you. Outside of disciplinary reasons or blatant
violations of policy, the only reason we would let a junior player
go would be that we have an unusually high number of players making
it impossible to coach effectively or to equip the players.
Top
Do
the coaches get paid?
No. Strangely enough, this has been a question too often asked. The
Storm is a volunteer organization.
Top
Does
anyone make money in the Storm Organization?
No. The Storm, are non-profit organizations and no member can
receive payment for services. All profits must be funneled into the
operating costs of the organization.
Top
If I don't
start, will I see playing time?
That decision rests with the coaching staff. All attempts will be
made to get all players playing time but there can be no doubt some
players will receive more playing time than others. It depends on
game time team situations, experience, practice history and
attitude. Your player fee does not guarantee playing time.
Top
What do I
get to keep after the season is over?
Each player will keep his practice jersey, t-shirt and game socks.
You also have the option of ordering a season game dvd so you may
put together a highlight tape.
Top
What is the $30
registration fee for?
This fee goes directly to the League to cover insurance, statistics
and some administrative costs
Top
What if I can't attend winter practices?
Winter practices are optional but strongly encouraged. You are
advised to communicate with the Head Coach if you cannot attend
these practices
Top
Do
I have to bring my own equipment?
No, we can supply you with equipment after your payment is confirmed
and cleared through our bank
Top
What If my postal code is not listed as part of Storm Territory?
Two things...either you live in another teams recruiting territory
and need a release to us or if not, you live in an open territory
and can choose which team you want to play for. This information is
on the site
Top
I am
16 (or under) can I play for the Varsity Team?
All players ages 16 and under as of May 31st, midnight of the
playing year must register with the York Simcoe Junior Storm. At
such time as both Junior and Varsity coaching staffs agree that a 16
yr old will benefit less from playing junior than they would varsity
will that player be moved to the formal Varsity roster, contingent
on the players desire to do so. No player will be moved from the
junior roster if such a move would jeopardize the ability of the
junior team from fielding an appropriate number of players. This
decision must take place prior to the first regular season game of
that season.
Top
How do I sponsor the STORM?
Sponsorship can take many forms. You can sponsor by (see sponsorship
page for details), purchase ad space in our game program, purchase
field space for banners or A-frames or take title sponsorship of the
jerseys.
Top
What is your refund policy
If dismissed from the team before May 20, 2006: $300 refund
Top
Can you
help me put together a highlight film?
Yes. Each game is filmed on DV video and requests for film can be
made to the team. See our video section.
Top
Can I miss
practice? Are they mandatory?
Practices are not mandatory during school year, but missing practice
can reduce playing time. After June 30, 2007 all practices are
mandatory. Players must notify their unit coach prior to missing a
practice.
