Dear all,

This year, we have been offered the opportunity to participate in two different leagues, and as such, we can accommodate more players this summer. Last year’s UFL has been picked up and relaunched under the Youth Football League (YFL), and the NCRFA has launched its own league, the NCRFA Youth League.

Thank you to everyone who attended the tryouts. We had almost 400 kids try out for the teams, and the quality was extremely high. For those of you who have been selected, congratulations. For those of you who didn’t make a team, do not worry, our academy will continue to train, and we will host many tournaments and events over the summer to give you all competitive games. The YFL also has rolling registration, so if you train well and impress the coaches, you have every chance of getting on a team later in the summer. 

As you can appreciate, it is a tough job for the coaches to run the rule over, with so many kids over two sessions, and while we believe we get it right most of the time, we understand that we may get some selection decisions wrong on occasion. If you have a question regarding your child’s omission/nonselection, please inform us, and we can speak directly with the coach to give you some feedback. In some cases, it may simply be that the coach feels they are not quite ready for the level of competition and will need to work on aspects of their game. In others, we may feel it would benefit all parties to see how they perform in a team setting and will give them another chance in a training session. Ultimately, the decisions lie with the individual coaches, but we also appreciate that the process can often be a tough one for players.

Note: If there is a spelling mistake in your child’s name, please inform us.

List of required documents:

• The league fee per player is P3,000, which includes the uniform for the tournament. A player ID card is given to YFL players by the league.
• Photocopy of passport or NSO birth certificate.
• Two 2" × 2" photographs for the player ID and registration form.
• Filled-out YFL Player Registration Form (those on the YFL roster). Download here.
• Filled-out Kaya FC Academy code of conduct. Download here.

Deadline for submission is 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29. We will only accept hard copies, so please ensure that these are submitted on time. Failure to do so will potentially lead to us offering your child's spot to other players on the standby list.

In addition, if you are a nonmember, you must register with the academy to be eligible to play in either competition. 

In the event that the NCR teams are oversubscribed, we will move some players into the YFL lineup. If we are undersubscribed, we will add some players from the YFL group (in some instances, we will register them for both leagues).

We are always looking for parent coaches to volunteer and help out with the organization of the players and parents for the games. If you would like to put yourself forward for the role, please let us know. 

Both leagues will start in April and will run until the end of June. More information regarding the league (e.g., fixtures) will be released over the coming weeks, but training for the teams will begin on April 3. The teams will train separately on Mondays and Fridays at McKinley Hill Stadium.

If you have any questions, please let us know. 

Thank you. I look forward to a fun summer of football.

Una Kaya!
