While this is a demanding job, it is vital for the continued operation of KMFA. The newly added online registration system has made this job much easier, but we will need one or more dedicated people to take on this role. Chris Smith will also be stepping down as president after this year. With the push to move to 9-man football, if you have an interest in the future and direction KMFA is heading, it is important that everyone attend this years AGM. Winter Indoor Flag Registration Registration for indoor flag is now open! This year we will be running two divisions including the Atom aged players. The season starts Jan 21, 2012, Saturday afternoons at the CNC. We will require a number of coaches this year. If you are interested in helping out please email Chris or Trevor as soon as possible. Thanks. AGM The AGM is currently set for 7:00pm, Tues January 17th, 2012 (Ramada Inn banquet room, the same as last year). All families who had kids registered this past season have voting rights.

Concussion Policy - Return to Play Please review the following: Doctor's Note and Report They are examples of what is required before a player who has received a concussion can return to play. KMFA Handbook The KMFA Handbook of Policies, Procedures and Guidelines is now posted online. Every parent should take the time to review it as many common questions are answered. Coach Survey If you have a grievance with your child's coach, please attempt to resolve the issue with them in a respectful manner. During a game or at the middle of practice is not a good time to do so. You should make every attempt to resolve issues with your coach directly. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can bring your concerns to the Director of Coaches (kmfa.coach@gmail.com). We also want to hear the good! If you have positive things to say about your coach, we want to know about it as well.
