2017 Player and Parent
Acknowledgement
All Parents / Guardians of AJT participants are expected to contribute to the overall success of the Antelope Jr.
Titans Football & Cheer organization (AJT). AJT is run completely on parent/community volunteers.
Please read and initial that you acknowledge the expectations of our players/parents. This will be in addition to
our Parent/Player Handbook.
Football
_____ Football fees are $350. The fees include (1) practice jersey, trophy, insurance, facility fees, SRPD fees,
SYF fees, use of all uniforms (both home, away & game pants), practice pants, spirit pack, training camp hosted
by Antelope High School, and certified football equipment (shoulder pads & helmet).
_____ We will be implementing roster cuts based on player safety and roster size. Your child will try out to be
placed on the season roster. If your player does not make the season roster, they will be considered a practice
player. Practice players can be promoted to the season roster, at the coaches’ discretion. If your child is
dismissed from the team due to safety reasons, AJT will issue a refund of all money paid, minus a $25.00
processing fee.
_____ Your child will be placed on a team that meets the age or grade requirements per the SYF rules. We will
not take any parent request based on personal judgements. Per SYF rules, players may play up an age division
(agreement must be made between player’s parents, coaches, and AJT Executive Board) but are not allowed to
play down.
Cheer
_____ Cheer fees are $250. The fee includes facility fees, insurance, trophies, bows, SYF competition, and
spirit pack. Registration fees do not cover the cost of the cheer uniform.
_____ Cheer will be implementing cuts, if needed for safety reasons. If another squad has an opening and your
child meets the age and experience requirements, they will be placed on that squad first. Your AJT Cheer
Committee, including coaches, will be placing your child on a squad based on age first, and ability second.
There will be no parent request taken into consideration when placing any cheerleader. If your child is cut, there
will be a refund of all money paid, minus a $25.00 processing fee.

Expectations of All Participants & Parents/Guardians
_____ There are absolutely no refunds for any reason, other than being cut from a squad due to team size or
safety reason and money will be returned minus the $25 processing fee.
_____ All participants must be paid in FULL prior to the first day of practice, July 31, 2017. Player’s that have
an outstanding balance due will not be issued any equipment. If your player is not paid in full, they will not be
able to step onto the field or participate in team activities. Payment plans will be offered during the preseason,
and AJT offers preseason fundraising to help cover the cost of your player’s registration.
_____ Any offseason competitions will not be covered through your player’s registration; these events are
considered optional. Financial responsibility for these events must be incurred by the player’s
parents/guardians.
_____ A minimum of ten (10) volunteer hours per player (maximum of 2) are required to be completed
during the 2017 season. A $150 volunteer deposit will be held as a deposit until the required volunteer hours
have been completed. If you do not complete the required volunteer hours by the deadline date (TBD at a later
date), your volunteer check will be cashed. After your required volunteer hours have been completed, AJT will
return the volunteer deposit to the parents/guardians. Volunteer deposit checks must be provided to AJT prior to
your player receiving any equipment. If you do not want to volunteer, the buyout fee is $200. This buyout must
be received prior to the start of the season.
_____ Every participant is required to provide an equipment deposit of $250. This deposit check must be
received prior to your player being issued equipment. This deposit check will be returned to the
parents/guardians at equipment hand-in. If determined by AJT Executive Board that the equipment is damaged
or requiring repair outside of normal wear & tear, the damages will be taken out of the equipment deposit. Any
remaining funds will be returned to the parents/guardians.
_____ Every participant, parent and/or guardian must meet the SYF guidelines and rules for participation,
including a medical release signed by a physician, dated after April 15, 2017.
