registration fee into two payments with half due at the time of

If the registration fee is not paid in full by June 1, 2008 then
your child may be removed from the team. If you need to
work out weekly payment plans to extend after June 1, a $20
administration fee will be added to the balance due.
A $20 TBYFL Concession fee per child has been
included in each football and cheerleading fee. The $20 fee will
be REFUNDED if you work a full two hour shift for each
registered child at the Bills TBYFL concession stand day. The
date of our duty will be determined later in the year.
What do I need to bring to registration?

the Bills last year, you will need to have TWO (2) copies of

into for Football and Cheerleading is the Pee Wee and Super
Midget team which usually only has a couple of openings each
