GAA Football Registration Info & FAQs

When are the 2025 Registration dates for the Football Season?

ONLINE registration will open Saturday, March 15th

When are the Paperwork Drop-Off Dates?

1st Paperwork Drop-Off - Saturday, March 15th // 2nd Paperwork Drop-Off - Saturday, May 17th

Where do I need to go to drop-off my player's paperwork on March 15th or May 17th?

Drop-Off Location - Grayson High School - Technical Building

What does the registration fee cover?

(1) Custom game jersey (1 Set) helmet decals IF the player does not already have decals on their helmet (1) pair of game pants (without pads) (1) trophy at the end of the season * Spirit fee to cover team expenses and spirit events (i.e. pep rallies, end of season banquet for players & player’s gift) * Supplemental Insurance.

Are there additional items that must be purchased?

Yes, each player will need the following items:
  • practice pants
  • practice jersey
  • shoulder pads
  • pads for pants
  • VEGAS GOLD ONLY helmet with DARK GREEN facemask
  • football girdle and pads to protect the lower body that is needed for the game day pants

Where can I purchase my player's helmet?

A suggestion is that IF you need to purchase your player a new helmet, to do so directly from the vendor of your choice – Riddell, Schutt, Xenith. PLEASE order your player's helmet MONTHS IN ADVANCE. Usually, helmets are in high demand in the Spring season, which could possibly cause shipping delays.

Do I get to pick my player's jersey number?

During online registration each player will have the option to enter three jersey number preferences in priority order. Upon selection to a team, players will be assigned a jersey number. There is no guarantee players will be awarded one of the three numbers entered during online registration. If one of the three numbers entered is not available, the jersey numbers are then randomly assigned. Should an age group have more than one team, there will be no duplicate numbers between the teams. The determination of which player receives which number is based 100% upon seniority.

What paperwork is required to COMPLETE Grayson A.A. Football registration?

  • ALL NEW PLAYERS THAT DID NOT PLAY FOR GRAYSON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DURING THE 2024 FALL FOOTBALL SEASON MUST…

Football equipment is costly, is there used equipment available?

GAA Football does not store or keep used equipment due to liability and space issues.

I have not had a chance to get a physical for my child, when do I need to have the physical turned in?

All documentation/paperwork must be turned in prior to the player entering the football field for evaluations.

With so many close-by associations and some coaches moving around to other associations, does it really matter where my child plays football?

Your child would have a competitive advantage for Grayson high school in later years. The GAA football program is aligned with the high school offense and defense, as are many other associations. It has been witnessed many times at the older levels and high school that GAA players have the competitive edge for positions already knowing the system and drills from the 8th grade and up. Bottom line is we highly encourage children to sign up for their youth associations aligned with their high school they are going to attend.

I have more than one child wanting to play football, do I get a discount?

A discount for multiple child participation in the same sport/activity will be deducted from the registration fee in 10% increments based on each additional child. Example, 2nd child is 10% discount, 3rd child is 20% discount, and 4th child is 30% from the total cost of registration.

What if my child changes his mind and decides he does not want to play, how do I get a refund once I have registered?

The refund policy for the Grayson Athletic Association is there is NO REGISTRATION REFUNDS allowed in any sport or activity.  Exceptions may be made by the GAA Executive Board.  **NO REFUNDS will be given for player registrations should there be a 2025 GFL Season

Who is required to attend evaluations?
