As of March 1st, we will have 50 left vying for the remaining 45 spots - Note: we have 10 Grade 9's left in this #, so Grade 9 players are set. Congratulations to you 10! FInal Grade 10 & 11 spots are yet to be determined.
Following is our league's (CDMFA) criteria for roster:
ROSTER: Limited to a maximum of 45 players, broken down as follows:10 spots for grade 9's, 10 spots for grade 10's and a maximum of 25 spots for grade 11's. If the reserved spots for grade 9's can't be filled with grade 9's, then the spots are not filled at all. The same applies to grade 10's, except those spots can be filled with additional grade 9's, but not grade 11's. Roster will be electronically entered on CDMFA web site. Final roster must be completed by first full equipment practice. The final team roster with assigned Jersey numbers must be completed before the first regular season game. Grade 8 players are no longer eligible to play Midget football (RPP Rule 2.4 [c]).
Thank you to everyone who tried out! If you are in Grade 9 or Grade 10 & were unsuccessful this year, please try again next year. Note: if we have 75+ try out next year, we may even form 2 teams!
