What to bring so we can size and issue your kid's gear.

  • Two pieces of photo ID (Health Card, Birth Certificate, Passport, or Driver's License)
  • A player photo for the team binder — Bulldogs gear encouraged
  • Proof of paid fees — full fee must be paid before equipment is issued

Section 7

New to the Bulldogs?

First-time players and families are encouraged to come meet the program in person before committing.

The best way to get a feel for the program is to come to an open practice. Meet coaches, talk to current parents, and see if your kid clicks with the team before you register.

TBD: Confirm whether BMFA hosts open / try-out practices for new players in the pre-season — and if so, the day, time, location, and contact for prospective families.

In the meantime, the About page covers BMFA's history and mission, and the Teams page shows what each division looks like.

Section 8

Refund Policy

TBD — entire section: Publish BMFA's 2026 refund policy here. Typical structure includes: a non-refundable deposit due at registration, a cutoff date after which no refunds are issued (often the first game of the season), and a policy on outstanding prior-year fees blocking participation. Replace with BMFA's actual amounts and dates.
