Registration is NOW OPEN for the 2025 Football and Cheer Season!
IMPORTANT:
AYF/AYC registration is done through National Sports ID (NSID) NOT Sports Connect. DO NOT LOGIN to your Sports Connect account to attempt to register.
To register, please follow the correct registration link below (football or cheer). It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you register on a computer, not on a smartphone. VERY IMPORTANT: You must register your athlete(s) to the appropriate division based on their age as of July 31, 2025, as defined by the chart included in this email. If you register for the incorrect division there may no longer be a spot on the correct team in which case your athlete will be on the wait list. If your athlete’s division is no longer on the division list, then please go to “click to join wait list” on that page and fill out the information to be put on that division's wait list.
If you register after our division roster size has been met and have signed up for the wait list, you will be notified by the Secretary of Water-Oak Football & Cheer that your athlete is on the wait list. Additional wait list information will be provided at that time.
