Registration Info

Birth Certificate

Pop Warner requires that a member of our governing league (FYD Pop Warner) verify all participant birth certificates. FYD staff must have the original or a certified copy (with raised seal) to look at--photocopies will NOT be allowed. Once they verify the authenticity of the birth certificate, they will stamp a copy provided by the Oilers that will be added to the Team Book. After FYD has stamped the copy, the original birth certificate will be returned to you. We do not want to be responsible for holding on to your important documents for very long, so we will try to have a member of FYD there at a registration session, so your birth certificate can be returned immediately.

The parent name listed on the Player Contract MUST EXACTLY MATCH a parent's name on the athlete's birth certificate. If you have legal guardianship of the athlete, you will need to provide a copy of the court document granting guardianship as this must be in the Team book as required by FYD.
