Instructions

**Your Athlete MUST be certified by 6/30/2025 otherwise he/she cannot participate in the 2025 season. Because T-Birds Day will be on Saturday, 7/12/2025, we will likely not offer on-site medical physicals as NSID certification needs to be completed prior to T-Bird day. Please plan accordingly and make appointments with your athlete's medical professional or Doctor to complete the medical form template.**

Similar to last season, the EBYFC will be certifying athletes using National Sports ID. Please take a few minutes to get your child certified on National Sports ID. Just click the link and follow the prompts to create an account, add your child and complete the 3-step process to get him/her verified.

Football Older/Lighters: If you are planning to try out for one of the (3) Older/Lighter positions per football team, please still sign up for the age-appropriate team that you registered for, not the Older/Lighter team. We will reconcile Older/Lighter NSID changes after tryouts complete in early August. For example, if your football athlete is planning to try out as an 11-year old Older/Lighter for Pee Wee, have them join the Jr. Varsity NSID team link. If your football athlete is planning to try out as a 13-year old Older/Lighter for Jr. Varsity, have them join the Varsity NSID team link.

Team Links: Please ensure you sign up with the team you registered your son and/or daughter with. After football tryouts complete in early August, we will reconcile Older/Lighters and Premier and Champion teams.

Please ensure you've joined the T-Birds team in NSID for your registered level.

Please re-watch the NSID help video for instructions on how to verify your athlete's materials. If you still need support, please contact NSID directly through their Live Chat channel in the lower right corner (Green box) of their website.
