Scholastic Requirements:

The EPIC Knights Football Program is part of the national AAU youth sports organization. The program's philosophy is that academics and athletics go hand in hand. The EPIC Knights are required to submit academic information on each participant and each team. The national office uses this information to determine academic eligibility for the program and to award academic honors and scholarships.

We must have grades from the entire previous school year for each participant (except those who have not started school yet) for the fall football season and the most recent report cards for the winter/spring football season. If the participant changed schools during the year, then grades from each school attended must be provided. We have to have grades for the entire school year.

If the participant was home schooled, you must provide a letter on letterhead that has the name of the home school as registered with the State (you can create this letterhead). The letter should include a one-line statement saying who teaches the child and that the instructor is certified by the State that the child resides to home school and another statement about the child's academic performance (provide a grade for each subject taught).

Participants who do not meet the minimum academic standards of a 2.0 average must have a written statement from the school administration giving permission for that youth to participate in The EPIC Knights football program.

Withdrawals

Refund requests will be less the cost of the uniforms if applied for prior to the cutoff date.  No refunds will be issued for football participants unless all equipment is returned and paperwork signed off by the Football Director. All those claiming a refund must have their written request in to the EPIC Knights Treasurer no later than the date provided to you at registration. No Refunds will be issued after the first scheduled game which starts the season for either winter/spring or the fall programs.  Please refer to our refund policy on the website for more details.
