FRIEND REQUEST

Roots Fall League teams are formed based on a cross-town rivalry format. Players are rostered by school first, then town and then friend request. Friend requests are not guaranteed if they attend different schools or different towns. Keep this in consideration when requesting a friend. Friend requests MUST be mutual.

No refunds will be given. Registrations are nonrefundable after receipt or on-line registration. No exceptions. Windy City FH does not pro-rate or offer makeups for missed dates. Windy City will do its best to replace players prior to the start of the program if for some reason they are unable to make the commitment.
