WELCOME TO 2024 FM ATHLETICS YOUTH FOOTBALL REGISTRATION!

We are ready to celebrate our 53rd season of youth football in 2024 with YOU!

Fargo Athletics, Inc. was formed in 1972 to promote youth tackle football education and participation in the Fargo-Moorhead area. The organization is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and all board members are volunteers. During the 2023 season, we registered and rostered over 1300 youth players.

The philosophy of FM Athletics is to provide an opportunity for all youth to play football, including those who might not otherwise have the chance. It is the intent of the league to foster sportsmanship, team play, and leadership. A limited number of scholarships are available. If you desire to pursue this option, please contact us via email (fmafootball@gmail.com). All scholarship information is kept strictly confidential.

REGISTRATION AND FUNDRAISING FEES:

Registration and fundraising fees are combined as one amount.

TEAM PLACEMENT/ROSTERS:

Because of the complexity of rostering 1400+ players, registrants (as well as coaching candidates) cannot be guaranteed placement on the same team or with the same coaching group each year. Additionally, we are unable to accommodate specific carpool or friend/teammate requests at this time.

FUNDRAISING 2024:

ALL REGISTRANTS will be charged the $150 fundraising fee at the time of registration for your (15) coupon peelers. The league will hand-out peelers (by team) to coaches at their July meeting. Coaches will then distribute them directly to players. You are welcome to personally sell and collect cash, use a cash app of your choice or accept checks made out directly to YOU for the coupons to subsidize your registration fee. You may also opt to keep and/or gift the peelers.

This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation, and submit payment. To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa, MasterCard or Discover card information available. Following the completion of this registration, you will see a charge on your account. There is NO PROCESSING FEE TO REGISTER ONLINE, however, there is a surcharge to recover those fees if you request a refund. See refund policy for details.
