JSAF Membership Application

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in joining the Junior Sheep Association of Florida (JSAF) for the 2020-2021 season. We are excited to welcome all youth who are interested in sheep to join our association, no matter how many sheep you have or your experience level. The JSAF is pleased to once again present our points series for a fourth season, along with some great activities throughout the season.

Youth who are currently high school seniors and younger are eligible for membership; there is no minimum age needed to join, however, we ask that families use their best judgement on when a youth is ready to be a member for those in the peewee division.

Dues this season will be $30.00 per member, payable online via credit credit card. If you need to pay via cash, check or money order, please reach out to us to make arrangement to pay at the first show of the season you attend. The only way to join and pay prior to the shows is via this online form and payment via PayPal. We strongly recommend that you pay online prior to show day to make the process easier for you.

If dues are not paid by the day of a show, you will NOT be eligible to receive points for said show (i.e. if you join on September 29, you cannot receive points for the show held on September 19). If paying the day of a show, dues must be paid BEFORE the show begins in order for you to be eligible to use that show for points. Dates forms are received/dues are paid will be recorded and noted in end of year points tabulations. If for some reason your membership form and payment are received on different dates, the later date will serve as the first day you are eligible to receive points.

Directions:

Once you have completed all of the information on this form, submit by clicking the button at the bottom. After you receive a confirmation message, click the "Pay Now" button underneath it to be directed to the checkout page to complete payment. Your membership will not be considered official until we have received a copy of this form and your dues payment.

No paper forms will be accepted, nor will memberships be accepted that are not submitted via either of these channels. There will be NO exceptions to this policy.

After submitting, you will receive copies of your membership form and receipt for payment to the email address that you provide. Please retain these as they serve as your official documentation of membership, the date these are dated indicates the first day you are eligible to receive points for your placings at shows.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us so we can help you! - JSAF
