VALIDATION PROCESS

1.      Each area will be assigned a date and time for validation, at their area.

2.      Area Directors must insure that they have the following properly completed

      documentation on each of their players:

            a.  Completed registration form,

            b.  Valid proof of age in one of the following forms:

                        1.  Birth Certificate,

                        2.  Baptismal Certificate,

                        3.  Public Aid Card,

                        4.  School Letter, complete with name and age, signed by principal,

3.      Completed roster for each team with player’s names listed in alphabetical order by their last name. All coaches must be listed in alphabetical order on their team roster also. A coach may only be listed on two rosters. Jersey numbers of each participant are to be listed. (Official Roster is defined herein.)

4.      On an area’s scheduled “Validation Night”, each area shall conduct “Non-Contact Practice”, defined as: “Practice shall be devoted entirely and exclusively to conditioning, not wearing pads; however, helmets shall be permitted.”

5.   Upon arrival at the area site, each Director shall gather all his players

      together, placing them in alphabetical order according to their last name and 

      directly matching the submitted team roster. Each player should have in his

      hand, his/her completed sign up form, and his/her form of proof of age, to

      present to the validation official, when it is his/her turn to be validated.

6.      All players listed on the roster at an area validation will be weighed. This

      includes any player without “proof of age.” If a weighed player does not have  

      proof of age, the validator will circle the box corresponding to his name in the

      weight column.

      The area must submit a copy of “proof of age” no later than make up

      validation.

7.      Upon each player's turn to be validated, the following items will be checked

      and properly documented by the validation official:

                        a.  Player's name, age and birth date,

                        b.  Player's form of proof of age,

c.      Player's weight will be checked, recorded and verified, that it     

      falls within the age and weight limitations of that particular 

      division of play.

8.      After the validation official has checked all of these items, he/she will

      complete the process by completing the J.F.L.O.C.I. "use only" section of the

      registration form.
