Registration Dates

March 1st: Returning 2023 player registration opens

March 15th: Open registration for returning and new players

May 15th: Last day of 2024 registration

We strongly encourage interested players to register IMMEDIATELY once registration is open. *Note: Once the maximum number of players is reached for the respective age level, subsequent registrants will be waitlisted. If additional coaching staff are identified to form more teams, waitlisted players will be moved to active status. All waitlisted players will either be moved to active status or released before parents need to order uniforms, which will be in the June timeframe.

FIRST YEAR PLAYERS: You will need an electronic copy of your players' birth certificate to complete registration.

Registration Fees

For the 2024 season, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be due at registration checkout with your first payment. Waitlisted players will not pay a deposit.

  • Players who cancel before the first practice are eligible for a full registration fee refund.
  • Players who cancel before the first game but after the first practice are entitled to a 50% registration fee refund.
  • Players who cancel after the first game are not eligible for a registration fee refund.
  • Refunds are not automatic, they must be specifically requested by contacting saints.naperville@gmail.com.
  • Game uniforms are non-refundable.

Uniforms

Game uniforms will be purchased by parents separately and are NOT included in the registration fee. A subsequent uniform fitting will occur on or around June 2024, at which time parents will order their players’ uniforms and pay for them in full. The approximate uniform cost will be $150 which covers uniforms, pants, helmet decals.

A credit for jersey reuse will not apply this year as all players will receive a new, updated design game uniform for the 2024 season.

Discounts

A multi-player $50 discount may be applied for parents registering more than one player for the 2024 season. There is no sibling discount code this year as it automatically takes it from the cart when you pay.

Discounts do not apply to uniforms as they are purchased separately.

Refunds

A $50 non-refundable deposit will be due at registration checkout. Waitlisted players will not pay a deposit. Players who cancel before the first practice are eligible for a full refund. Players who cancel after the first game are not eligible for a refund. Note that game uniforms are non-refundable.
