Registration for the 2027 season opens March 1st, 2027 for all divisions.

• Cheer Deadline: April 10th, 2026
• Football Deadline: April 24th, 2026

There are no tryouts and no cuts. Athletes are not evaluated to earn a spot. Flag football holds a non-evaluative skill assessment to help coaches balance teams evenly before the season starts.

Cheer roster limits: Each cheer squad has a maximum number of athletes. Once a squad is full, additional girls may be placed on a waitlist.

Cheer ($285): Covers Sideline games, October Competition squad, shell, skirt, bodysuit, shoes, bow, jacket, and poms (returned post-season).

Tackle Football ($285): Covers helmet & shoulder pads (returned post-season), game jersey, pants, and socks.

Flag Football ($185): Covers flag belt, game jersey, and socks.

Player placement is calculated by their age as of July 1st, 2027:

• Flag: Ages 5–6
• Freshman: Ages 7–8
• Junior Varsity: Ages 9–10
• Varsity: Ages 11–12

For more specific cutoff scenarios, refer to our Age Chart Reference.

All cheer and tackle players must attend a mandatory Sizing Event to be properly fitted for protective gear and custom uniforms.

Flag Football families select their player's shirt size directly during online checkout and skip sizing events.

All cheer and tackle athletes must submit a valid sports physical exam stamped on or after April 1st of the current year per MHSAA/HFL rules.

Physicals are not required for Flag Football.

Sibling Discount: Families registering more than one athlete across football or cheer get $25 off each additional athlete, applied automatically at registration.

Hardship Assistance: Select the Financial Hardship option during checkout to have a board member discreetly discuss payment arrangements with you.

Refunds must be requested prior to uniform and helmet orders being finalized. Once custom gear is placed with suppliers, registration becomes non-refundable.

Coaches aim to involve every player. Game time is earned through practice attendance, attitude, and safety readiness. Unexcused practice absences will directly impact game participation.

To ensure safety, players exceeding specific weights wear helmet stripes designating interior line positions:

• Freshman: 80+ lbs (Single Stripe) | 95+ lbs (Double)
• JV: 100+ lbs (Single Stripe) | 125+ lbs (Double)
• Varsity: 130+ lbs (Single Stripe) | 155+ lbs (Double)

Practices begin the first week of August.

Games begin the weekend after Labor Day.

Game schedules follow this standard Saturday timeline across the league:

• Flag: 8:30 AM
• Freshman: 10:00 AM
• JV: 12:00 PM
• Varsity: 2:00 PM

Summer: 4 days per week (typically Monday–Thursday), beginning the first week of August.

In-Season: Drops to 3 days per week once school is in session.

Flag players undergo a preseason skills evaluation so coaches can draft balanced, competitive rosters. Team assignments are announced shortly after evaluations.

Sideline: Performs cheers, chants, and spirit building during Saturday football games.

Competitive: Prepares high-energy choreographed routines featuring stunting, tumbling, and jumps to compete at the October regional championship.

Because stunting requires precise teamwork and safety, attendance is mandatory. Missing practices may require coaches to modify routine stunt positions for team safety.

Families need to supply plain black leggings for cold weather games, practice attire, and a reusable water bottle. Uniforms, shoes, bows, jackets, and poms are fully provided.

MHSAA limits mat size to 16 athletes per floor round. Registration is structured to build balanced squads per age division while maximizing participation.

A $100 volunteer deposit check is collected per family, not per player. It is held, not cashed, and returned or destroyed once your family completes a minimum of 2 volunteer hours during the season. If those hours are not completed, the check is cashed at the end of the season.

Each family completes a minimum of 2 volunteer hours during the season, not per player. Positions include concession stand, chain gang, press box, or field cleanup.

Select your coaching preference during online registration. Game-day volunteer shifts are published via team communications prior to home games.

You may send a proxy (age 16+) to complete your hours under your player's name. If the hours are not completed, the deposit check will be cashed at the end of the season.

Codes usually arrive within a minute, but sometimes they land in junk or spam, so check there first. Then tap Send the code again (you can resend every 30 seconds) and use the newest code.

Make sure you typed the exact email you registered with. Still nothing after a few minutes? Email apps@scjrsaints.com and we will help.

You are signed in, but no player is registered under that email. Try the other email you may have used at registration. If someone else in your family registered (your spouse, say), ask them to add you as a family contact in My Saint, or email apps@scjrsaints.com.

No. Each time you sign in we email you a one-time code. There is no password to forget. In the app you can also turn on Face ID so only you can open it on your phone.

Three things have to be true: you are signed in to My Saint, you tapped Allow when the app asked to send notifications, and notifications are on in your phone's settings. On an iPhone, open Settings → Notifications → Jr Saints (the app is called Jr Saints there) and switch Allow Notifications on.

If you ever said no, My Saint shows a Turn on notifications bar. See the step-by-step notifications guide with pictures.

Schedule and field changes, cancellations, a reminder the day before a game or practice, game day updates, league news, and posts in your team's chat. Alerts follow the teams your players are on.

Yes. In My Saint, open Notification & app settings. You can switch off email alerts, and set quiet hours for chat notifications (9 PM to 7 AM by default). Chat notifications during quiet hours wait until they end. Urgent posts, schedule changes and cancellations still come through right away.

Install the app, open My Saint, and sign in with the same email. Tap Allow when it asks about notifications. Your players, colors and settings come back because they are saved to your account.

Yes. Sign in on each phone or tablet with the same email. Your players, colors, settings and chat unread counts are saved to your account, so they match everywhere.

In My Saint, open Notification & app settings, go to Family & contacts, and enter their name and email. We email them how to join. They sign in with the email you entered. You can add up to 6 people.

You choose what each person gets: alerts only, or alerts plus team chat. You can also add contacts when you register.

In Family & contacts, tap Remove next to their name. They stop getting your players' alerts right away. If they have not joined yet, tap Resend to email the invite again.

Ask them to check their junk or spam folder first. The email comes from noreply@scjrsaints.com, and a first email from a new sender sometimes goes to junk. Marking it as not junk helps. They can also skip the email: they just open My Saint and sign in with the email you entered.

Give each child a color: tap Color on their card, choose one, and tap Save color. Their games and practices are tagged with that color. Use the tick box on a card to show or hide a child.

Yes. You can add a single game or practice, or subscribe to a team once in Notification & app settings. Subscribed events update on their own when a time or field changes.

My Saint. It updates the moment the league or a coach changes the schedule, and you get an alert. If a calendar you added a long time ago shows something different, trust My Saint, or use the subscribe option so your calendar updates by itself.

Yes. Tap Add photo on your child's card. It appears on their events. It is private to your account and no one else can see it.

That is your count of unread chat messages, including private messages. It clears as you read them, and it matches on every device you use.

Team board posts are seen by the families and coaches of that team and league administrators. Private messages are seen only by the two people in the conversation. If someone reports a message, the administrators who review reports can see it. More detail is in the Privacy & Security FAQ.

It is a count of how many other people have opened that chat since you posted. It does not show names.

Tap Report under any message and league administrators will review it promptly. Tap Block to stop seeing a person's messages.

Open Game Pics from the app menu, sign in, and add photos from the game. Only registered families and coaches can add pictures, and a league administrator approves each pic before it appears on the website.

Both work. The website shows schedules, standings and game day to anyone. The app is free on iPhone and Android and adds push notifications, the unread count on the icon, and Face ID. Search for St. Clair Jr Saints in the App Store or Google Play.

In My Saint, open Notification & app settings and switch on Unlock the app with Face ID (or fingerprint on Android). The app will ask for it instead of a new sign-in code.

Scroll to the bottom of My Saint and tap Sign out.

Parents can delete their chat account and its data at any time, with no waiting period. Open Team Chat while signed in and tap Delete this account, then type DELETE to confirm. To correct or remove your player's registration record, email apps@scjrsaints.com.

Email apps@scjrsaints.com. Tell us the email you signed in with and what you see on the screen. A screenshot helps.
