Follow these simple steps to sign up your child for Football or Cheer:

1. Download and complete player forms: Fill out all the Player Forms listed below.
   
2. Online registration: Click the "Register Here" button and complete the required form. You'll need to upload the completed Player Forms during this process. Complete by July 6, 2025 at 11:59 PM. 
   
3. Print and submit documents: After registering online, print all required documents. To ensure your child can join the first day of practice on August 1, 2025, submit these printed documents. You can either:

a. Mail them to: GPW, PO Box 72, Guilderland, NY 12084
b. Drop them off at any of our Registration Pop-Up Events
c. Hand them in at upcoming events listed on our Home page.

Deadline: Please complete the registration before July 6, 2025 at 11:59 PM (including the online registration and submitting your paperwork to GPW)

Important: You must complete the online registration and submit all of your paperwork/forms online before dropping off your registration packet at a pop-up event or mailing them in. Also, GPW will only accept registration packets that are 100% complete (i.e. not missing forms). For the 2025 season, you are NOT required to have a doctor's signature for the Medical History Form. However, we still require that you provide proof of your child's latest physical exam which can be dated any time between August 1, 2024 and August 1, 2025. There is no GPW Physical Exam form so your doctor doesn't need to fill out any separate form. 

Starting this year, registration now includes a $30 fundraising contribution per athlete to support GPW programs. You’ll receive 3 GPW Raffle Tickets (worth $10 each) that you can sell to family and friends so you can easily recoup the cost!
