What forms are necessary to register my child for a sport at St. Matthew?

The St. Matthew Athletic Association (SMAA) is very excited that we have partnered with TeamSnap, an online application that will enable parents to complete registration and pay fees electronically. To view what registrations are currently open, visit our Sports Registration page. 

If you have a child or children that will participate in athletics, you will be required to complete the registration process online for them. Registering your first child will take 5-10 minutes. Registering additional children will take 2-3 minutes each. Information is stored from season-to season, year-to-year and also shared within families eliminating the need to enter the same info more than once. Your only annual requirement will be logging in to verify the existing information for your child by re-signing each form. If you have any questions or experience any issues during registration, please direct all support requests to Matt Selan.

Diocese Sports Parent Consent Forms / Waivers:

Starting in the Summer of 2019, the forms below are signed electronically at the Diocese Sports Portal. Each time you register a player for a diocesan sport in Team Snap, you will also need to register your player with the Diocese and sign the forms below electronically. Neither St. Matthew nor the Diocese require a paper copy.
