This entire procedure is also on the book cheat sheet.
Roster
PRINT 2 COPIES: of your "Official Roster (Age Desc)" from MYAYF
1 will be certified and kept by Central MA, 1 copy to remain in your book.
ALL pages must be SIGNED & STAMPED by CMA & Association.
IT IS NOT CENTRAL MA'S RESPONSIBLITY TO FIND MISTAKES ON YOUR ROSTERS!
This chart helps you calculate what age that child will be on 7/31 of this current year.
example: if your DOB is 7/21/2012 you would look at the row of 2012 and the column of July to find where they meet and you will see that the child will be 13 for the season.
It is not Central MA's responsibility to calculate all of your player's ages on your roster.

Important Forms
Blank Absentee Forms
If a player is going to miss a post season game, this form needs to be filled out and placed over sleeve 1/page 1. If your team advances, please put this form BEHIND page 1 in sleeve 1.
Blank Resume Medical Forms
This form is required to resume participation of any kind after original medical clearance is voided by an injury, accident, or illness. This gets placed over the medical clearance form in your book.
AYF Rulebook for 2025
My suggestion is to print this 2 pages per sheet and double sided. Instead of it being 77 pages it will be 20
Blank Heat Index Practice Documents
Any team holding practices outside must complete this form for each practice that Central MA declares a heat index warning.
Link to the Zelus Sports App: ZelusSports
We are changing the recommended app to Zelusports - https://zelusports.com -. This app has the MIAA WBGT guidance built into the app that CMYFCC has adopted.
This adjusts our guidance slightly, but this app uses more resources than the previous app to get a more accurate reading than our previous app recommendation. You can still use a live WBGT meter, which generally gives you a more accurate reading as long as it is used correctly.
Notes:
Each time we issue an advisory you MUST fill out the form and put it in front of each team's book that has practice on that calendar day.
Only the Zelus app or a WBGT (NOT wbt) reading from a WBGT meter is acceptable.
Please note the attached form and additional information from the MIAA guidance.
If practice starts in the evening (after 5pm):
Reading must be taken at the beginning of practice and restrictions followed for the duration of practice time, restrictions can NOT be modified as practice continues.
If practice is during the day (8am - 5pm):
Readings must be taken at the beginning of practice and each mandated water break. Adjustments should be made for a higher reading, but not lower.
If using a WBGT meter, reading MUST be taken in the sun, preferably in the middle of the practice field.
Game day restrictions will also be followed.
More information about WBGT, why it's important and the science behind it is available at the Korey Stringer Institute:https://ksi.uconn.edu/about/korey-stringer-institute/
