Returning player registration is open to all spartan football players who played in the 2022 season.  Open Registration will begin on March 1st and continue until the date of the Jamboree or until teams have reached their capacity.  Players will join the wait list for the division they wish to play. Please note this is not a guarantee, final rosters are pending until coaches have had the opportunity to evaluate every player to ensure their proper placement.

REFUND POLICY:

Spartan Football has a NO REFUND POLICY.  However, if requested, the Board will evaluate individual situations.  All requests for refunds must meet certain criteria and be presented to the Board for approval. Under no circumstance shall a refund be granted after any equipment and/or apparel (including but not limited to Camp Gear, Jerseys, etc.) has been ordered.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY:

Financial Assistance may be available to families on a case by case basis.  All applications for Financial Assistance must be properly filled out by both the parent and the player.  This application must then be presented to the Team Manager to submit to the Board for approval.   If there has not been a Team Manager appointed yet, applications may then and only then be submitted to any member on the Board.  Players may not participate in any team activities until such time as the application is approved by the Board.   Under no circumstances will the Board discuss a request for Financial Assistance without the application.

PLAYER PLACEMENT POLICY:

All players are placed on divisional teams based on weights and ages as set by the GCYFL.   In cases where a player is eligible for more than one division, the decision on where the player should be placed will be decided upon by the Parent, and coaches.  If a situation arises in which it is felt that the player has been placed in an unsafe situation, the Athletic Director, Vice President and President will discuss the situation with the player and parent and take appropriate action including but not limited to moving the player to a lower division or removing the player from the program.   Also, in cases where one team's roster is full and one team is short, it may be suggested to the player and family to play on the team that is short handed. This would be a voluntary move decided by the player and parent.

TEAM ROSTER POLICY:

All returning players registered are placed on the roster for a division in which he or she is eligible. See Player Placement Policy for players eligible for multiple divisions.  Once those players are accounted for, a total count will be done to determine whether the roster has reached it’s cap.   If the cap has not been reached, the teams will hold player evaluations to fill the remaining spots. The Head Coach, at his own discretion, may opt to take more players than what the roster cap, but may not take less.

Players new to the Saugus Spartans (players who did not play on a Saugus Spartan team during the 2022
season) may not register before February 15, 2023. 
Once the early registration period ends the players on the wait list will be added to the team roster for
their eligible division based on coaches decision or evaluations.
