A doctor’s statement, verifying the illness or injury, must be received within two weeks from the time of the illness or injury for a refund to be considered. We reserve the right to issue a partial refund determined by the amount of participation in the program prior to the illness or injury. Waiting List Guidelines: We will create waiting lists for programs/activities that reach maximum capacity and/ or for registrants who register after the deadline. Waiting lists are kept in chronological order for placing enrollees if openings develop. It is important for parents/participants to understand coaches and instructors do not have the authority to add participants to their roster. Waiting list placement will be made solely by the departmental staff for consistency and fairness. Any participant added to a roster without the consent of the Recreation Department will be grounds for dismissal from the activity and a one-year suspension from future programs. Sign Up Guidelines for Youth League Sports: We will accept all sign ups for youth league sports by the deadline date. Signing up prior to the deadline, participants receive a $20 discount and are guaranteed placement on a team. Participants may sign up for a sport after the deadline only if slots are available. If teams are filled, participants will be placed on a waiting list and placement on a team will only occur if an opening develops. Waiting lists are kept chronologically and placement will occur accordingly. Signing up after the deadline jeopardizes your child’s opportunity to participate. Buddy System: The buddy system applies to the following youth sports: Flag Football, K-5 Soccer Leagues, Little Sluggers Tee Ball Leagues, 3 & 4 Girls Basketball and 3 & 4 Girls Lacrosse. The buddy system is designed to allow children to know at least one child on their team. It may also help families with carpool issues. We are requiring both children’s parents to complete and sign the form to be valid. The form must be completed in person or on line so we know that you, the registrants, have requested your child to play with one other child. Limit one buddy request per child and must be completed by the program deadline. Due to various criteria, the “Buddy System” does not guarantee that your request will be honored. This is a service our department provides for our patrons.
