Teams

Please be aware that registration does not guarantee team placement. The organization will make every effort to field enough teams so that all athletes can play.

Team placement is based on many factors, including, but not limited to: the total number of players and coaches in an age division, the number of teams in an age division throughout the league (the CFF), field space, equipment availability, and a player’s experience. Player safety is the organization’s top priority.

Athletes will be notified of team placement in the spring. Registration deposits will be refunded for athletes for whom we are unable to place on a team. If assigned to a team, your registration deposit is non-refundable.

Practice Information

Practice begins on July 15, 2026.

Teams will practice up to 10 hours per week and up to 2.5 hours per day until Labor Day weekend.

After Labor Day Weekend, teams will practice up to 6 hours per week and up to 2 hours per day.

Games

Games are played on Saturdays.

Volunteer Requirements

NRWF is a completely volunteer-run program that relies heavily on the support of parents and guardians. Each player’s family is expected to volunteer at least 6 hours during the season.

Volunteer duties may include, but are not limited to:

Concessions

Team parent support

Fundraising events

Game day operations (gate volunteer, play counter, chain crew, clock operator
