Equipment Deposit

All necessary protective equipment is supplied by the SAMFA. The only equipment that you must provide is cleats, which cannot have any metal cleats. An equipment deposit of $600 is required before any equipment can be issued to a participant. This will be by way of POST-DATED CHEQUE (for December 31) and will not be cashed unless the equipment is not returned at the conclusion of the season. The cheque should be made out to “SAMFA” or “St Albert Minor Football Club”.

Volunteer Participation

Our football club relies completely on parent/guardian and family participation in order to realize a fun and successful season. It is an expectation of registration that each players parent/guardian(s) and/or family will assist in some capacity during the season by volunteering for duties at games or community events.  

There are many areas where volunteers are needed: throughout the football season there is a need for coaches, team managers, equipment managers, first-aiders (aka. “trainers”), and then during the games there is a need for people to help with sideline duties, concessions, videography, field setup and other operational tasks. Previous experience in any of these areas is not necessary. More involvement by the entire SAMFA Football family leads to a high quality, fun experience for all involved .

Volunteer Commitments per player, per season are as follows:

Each dib is worth $100.00

• Novice not required
• Atoms - 2 dibs are required
• Peewee and Bantam -3 dibs are required

Your Deposit as described previously, will be returned at the end of season provided the

requirements have been met. If requirements are not fulfilled, SAMFA will deposit/cash the cheque.

A list of volunteer jobs will be available and Managed by Team Manager.

Below a possible jobs include but are not limited to:

• Team Manager
• Swag/Clothing Coordinator
• Parade
• Announcer for home games
• Stick crew
• Concession Coordinator

Once you are signed up for your volunteer job, you must ensure the shift is covered. Your cheque will be cashed if you do not show up or cover your shift.

Some parents don’t have the time or desire to volunteer and choose to pay the fee and not participate in volunteering. Although we would prefer volunteer assistance, we understand time restraints, and accordingly, this option is available to you. Please let our Registrar know at the time of registration if you choose this option.

Field staff members (Coaches, Trainers, Team Managers) and Board members are exempt from the volunteer jobs listed above as they have already committed much time and energy to our club.

Fee Assistance Options

SAMFA is committed to allowing all players who want to play football a chance to play. If you feel you are unable to pay our fees, please email the Registrar prior to registration and we will ensure that your son or daughter is able to be a part of SAMFA.
