Required every season
National Registry
Every player, coach, volunteer and official in Football Ontario registers here once a season. One registration covers both Football Ontario and Football Canada.
Registration is open for the 2026 season. 2027 forms will be posted here when registration opens. Register before your first practice, game, camp or tryout, and again each new season.

Why is it required?
- Football Canada requires everyone in the sport to register with the national body. One form covers both Football Ontario and Football Canada.
- It lets Football Ontario reach players and parents directly.

Questions
When do I need to register? ＋
Before you take part in any camp, clinic, practice, game, or tryout of more than two practices. Register again every season.
What information is collected? ＋
Full name, phone number, date of birth, email, address, gender, role (player, coach and so on), type of football (tackle, flag or touch) and your club or association. Players also agree to Football Canada and Football Ontario waivers.
I play and coach. Do I register twice? ＋
Yes. Register once for each role and each type of football. Fees are charged per discipline.
Can my club add its own questions? ＋
Yes. Clubs can add questions using their TeamLinkt microsite, which is free for Football Ontario member clubs.
Is this the same as registering with my club? ＋
No. Your club registration puts you on a team. The National Registry registers you with Football Ontario and Football Canada. You need both.
