HOW TO REGISTER A TEAM
(Players without a team see above for Individual Player Registration)

• Only a team may be registered.
• To register, a team is a minimum of eight (8) players, except for a U11 team where the minimum is six (6) players.
• Teams registering with less than ten (10) players (or eight (8) players for U11) must be willing to accept additional players assigned by the League.
• In order to register a team, a coach must complete the online Team Registration and Placement Survey form.
• All teams must supply uniforms, numbered front and back and ideally, should be reversible in case of conflicting colours.
• All teams should have a rudimentary first aid kit, with ice packs, bandaids, and hand sanitizer.
• All teams should review the detailed Rules and Regulations under the Policy, Rules and Regs tab prior to registering.

• As well, a coach must complete an online registration through RecTec.  A player registration link will be forwarded to parents by your child's coach.  This link includes the requirement to complete and agree to the online Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct.  The parent/guardian must complete both the player registration and P/G Code of Conduct, agree to the conditions and submit the form to complete the registration process for insurance purposes. Failure to complete BOTH the online registration and the Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct will result in the child being unable to play.
• It is the ABSOLUTE responsibility of the coach to ensure the correct age of the player for the division in which his team is placed. Both coach and player will be suspended if there is a breach of the division age rules and a older player plays down as a result thereof.
• At any time a player or a coach may be required to provide proof of age of the player.
• Once the online Team Registration and Placement Survey has been completed by the coach or club the next step is to write a cheque payable to V&DABA in the correct amount. Only one (1) cheque per independent team or club will be accepted. In other words, it is the indepentdent team coach or club representative’s responsibility to collect the fees from the parents and remit one (1) cheque to V&DABA. To reiterate, clubs registering more than one (1) team, must submit one cheque for all the teams. If you are renting gym space, you will need a separate check. See information under Practice Time.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO ON REGISTRATION DAY:

• On Registration Day you must physically come to the Registration Site to deliver your team registration cheque.
• Registration Site (Venue, dates & times) will be advertised well in advance
• On Registration Day you must have registered a team usling the online Team Registration and Placement Survey form while ensuring you have commitment from a minimum of eight (8) players in the U13, U15 or U18 age groups or six (6) players for the U11 age group. Please note that you can continue to add players to November 15th of the current season.
• To register a player online:

ADDING A PLAYER AFTER TEAM REGISTRATION DAY:
