PYFL Compliance
All players are required by the PYFL to attend two Certification Events during the season. The first event will be held on one of the first Saturdays in August, and the second will be held on one of the first Sundays in November. It is your responsibility to find out the specifics concerning these events, and to make your child available at the specified times. These events are mandatory, and the PYFL is under no obligation to accommodate your ability to attend the event.

Refund Policy
It is the express policy of the Simi Valley Patriots Board of Directors that no refunds be granted after your child has been PYFL certified. In the event there is an extraordinary circumstance that will prevent your child from participating in the football season, you may request a Special Circumstances Refund in writing from the President. The Board of Directors will determine whether they judge the circumstances "extraordinary" and grant a refund, less a $50 processing fee, on that basis.

Mandatory Parental Participation
The Simi Valley Patriots will operate entirely on a mandatory volunteer basis for the 2009 season. We will require each participating family to donate 4 hours/2 games of service. Each family will be required to sign up for a specific volunteer assignment prior to start of the season. Failing to sign up or failure to serve at your assigned time and date will directly jeopardize the playing eligibility of your player.

Fundraising Deposit Policy
Every parent/guardian will be required to submit a post-dated check at time of registration in the amount of $50 as a deposit for your player's fundraising commitment. This deposit will be securely filed until your player has completed his minimum fundraising requirement of $50, at which time the deposit check will be returned. Please know that your check will be handled with extreme care and security and will never be deposited without your prior knowledge. Players will NOT be registered without submitting the mandatory fundraising deposit check.

Fundraising Buy-Out Option
Families choosing to not participate in fundraising may elect to donate $50 per player.

Football Equipment Deposit Policy
Every parent/guardian will be required to submit a post-dated check, on equipment handout day (@ Arroyo Park), in the amount of $150 as a deposit for your player's football equipment. This deposit will guard your Patriots Football program from having to unnecessarily spend its resources to replace unreturned or damaged equipment. [NOTE: Normal wear & tear does not equate to damaged equipment]. Upon submitting the post-dated check, your child will receive his equipment (helmet, pads, practice jersey, etc.). Your deposit check will then be securely filed. At the end of the season, your deposit check will be returned to you in exchange for your player's equipment. Please know that your check will be handled with extreme care and security and will never be deposited without your prior knowledge. Equipment will NOT be issued without submitting the mandatory deposit check.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
