You may feel these to defray the total cost of your registration. For more details on this raffle, please see our fundraising page.
We understand that cost is of particular importance. To assist, we have implemented two payment options for your convenience:

- Installment Plan: Payment of a $50 deposit at the time of registration with 3 additional $100 monthly installment payments, automatically scheduled based on your method of payment with deposit.
Should you have particular hardship, where your player would like to participate but you're unable to pay the reduced deposit, please email president@ugyouthfootball.com in confidence.

Season Communications
All teams will maintain primary communications through the TeamSnap website and app tool. We have had great success with trial usage of this platform. It is great for understanding team schedules, communicating with teammates, sharing photos, etc.
Also of note, this is directly tied to your registration, for ease of information entry. If you had a player previously enrolled on this app in prior seasons, there is an option at the time of registration to carryover their information.
