Registration Overview & FAQ

There are three (3) steps you need to follow to register for a Sentinel program:

1. Become an Online Member
   This step creates a Userid and Password for your family profile. You will use this Userid and Password to access this registration system for all future registrations and to update any changes to your family information. Please keep this Userid and Password handy.
   
   
2. Login to System and Update Family Information
   Once you become an Online Member, you will need to login to the system with your Userid and Password. You will then input/update your family contact and player information. Be sure to complete all of this information - especially cell phone and email addresses.
   
   
3. Select a Program, Order the Uniform and Pay
   During open registration periods, you will need to select a program, possibly order a uniform and pay to complete the registration process. All registrants are recorded as "Pending" status until the club records your payment. Once payment has been recorded, the registrant status is changed to "Active". Those registrants with a "Pending" status for which payment is not received will be removed from the system and those players will not be included in the rostering process.

Please Note: Our primary form of communication is by email. If you do not have an email address that you can access on a regular basis, it will be very difficult to keep you up to date on changes to teams, schedules, etc. If you choose not to use email, it is your responsibility to identify a family on your team that will contact you by phone with updates. Our team managers, coordinators and coaches do a great deal of work on a volunteer-basis and we do not want to give them extra work by having to telephone families that are not accessing email. Thanks for your understanding on this.

When does registration open for programs?
Programs are made available for registration roughly 90 days in advance of the start of the program. Registration is open 3 weeks. Once the registration period ends, the program options will be removed from the online site and no more registrations will be accepted.

If we miss the registration period, can we still register?
Families that miss the registration period should make sure they are an Online Member and their family contact and player info is up to date. Then they can send an email to feedback@orvfc.org and request the age group and program in which you are interested for this season. We will put you on a waiting list and if we can get you into the program we will do so.

How will we know our registration has been accepted?
Login into the system using your Userid and Password. Click on the ONLINE REGISTRATION link under the "Online Members-Only" section on the left-hand side of the screen. Scroll down to Section 3 and make sure the program you requested is listed. Then scroll down to Section 5. If your family has a $0 balance, then your registration has been accepted. If it still indicates that you owe the club any funds, then your registration is still pending until we receive and record your payment.

When will we hear from the club concerning information about the season?
We will contact all accepted registrants via email within 3 weeks after the registration period has ended. We will outline any final details about the program and if there are any decisions you need to make. Sometimes, due to low numbers or other variables beyond our control, we might need to cancel an age group or make an adjustment to a particular program. Finally, you will hear from a team manager or division coordinator two weeks prior to the start of the season (if not sooner). Also, we try to notify all player families simultaneously but given the distributive nature of how we publish the information, we can’t always ensure that families here at the same time. Therefore if you hear that others are being notified and you have yet to receive any word please be patient. If you have not been contacted by a coach or manager less than two-weeks prior to the start of the season – then send us an email at feedback@orvfc.org.

Can I order uniforms after the registration period is over?
Yes. But they won't be distributed until the following season. You can order and pay for uniforms at any time but distribution only occurs via the process outlined in our Uniform Management Policy. We do not have the staff to keep going to storage and to retrieve uniforms. If we get more volunteers than that can change but for now we need to follow the set process.

Do I need a Paypal account to pay by credit card?
No. However, if you have a pre-existing paypal account the system will prompt you to use it. The Paypal account is linked to your email address. You don't need to use your paypal account to pay and there are directions on the Paypal screen guiding you around that.

Do you offer financial support?
Yes. We have a limited number of spots that we can award to players on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to be considered, please register your player and send a letter requesting a financial award to our mailing address on the left-hand side of this page addressedto "Club President".
