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 Hyacks Football family leads to a high quality, fun experience for all involved – especially for the kids.
All necessary protective equipment is supplied by the club. The only equipment that you must provide is cleats, which cannot have any metal cleats. An equipment deposit is required before any equipment can be issued to a participant ($400 for Peewee and Junior Bantam; $100 for Atom; $150 for Cheerleading, no deposit for Tyke or Mini-Tyke), and is given to us when equipment is issued. This will be by way of POST-DATED CHEQUE (for November 1) and will not be cashed unless the equipment is not returned at the conclusion of the season. The cheque should be made out to “RCHFC” or “Royal City Hyacks Football Club”.
RCHFC feels it can provide the best play time and development for your kids by basing the number of teams we will support on the coaching staff we have available. This is especially true at the Atom, Peewee and JB level. All players who have provided required paperwork & registration fees (paid in full) will be issued equipment and can come out to practice. Players on the wait-list will be notified by the first practice. Should there not be sufficient coaches (or players) to support additional teams. Player participation is decided on a first come first serve basis based on registration and payment date.
Where: Mercer at the lockers.
Ages: ALL levels (Cheer, Mini-tyke & Tyke, Atom, PeeWee, Jr. Bantam)

Membership is notified when registration is open. There isn’t any priority to the programs. All registrations are handled on a first-come/first-serve basis. Registrations are deemed complete only once the registration payment has been received. Should team rosters fill up, additional registrants will be placed on a waiting list.
Participants from all Lower Mainland communities are welcome to register with our club. There are no league restrictions that deny families from registering their children in a club outside their city or municipality. If the number of registrants exceeds the roster limits of our club’s teams, priority will be given to New Westminster residents, and then by order of when the registrations have been received. As such, you may be asked to provide some proof of residency if you live in New Westminster.
