mastering swimming skills.

Household Transfers: Individuals may transfer from an enrolled program to another currently publicized
program without incurring an administrative fee. Transfers must be made two full business days prior to the starting
date of the program you are cancelling. If there is a difference in class fees, the difference will need to be paid at the
time of the transfer and/or any remaining credit balance will be placed on your household account for future use.
Program Cancellations: Must be made a minimum of five full business days prior to the start of the program
and will incur a 20% administrative fee up to a maximum of $15 for each program. Program cancellations made
a minimum of two full business days prior to the start of the program will incur a 40% administrative fee up to a
maximum of $30 for each program.
League Sport Cancellations: Must be made a minimum of five full business days prior to the leagues first game.
Cancellations will incur a 20% administrative fee up to a maximum of $15 for each program. Cancellation refunds
will not be granted for any cancellations made less than 5 full business days prior to the first scheduled game.
Injury or Illness: Refunds can be given to individuals who are injured or ill. 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.
Interscholastic League Sports:
Governed under the
Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA)
-Participants must be enrolled as an EGRMS
student and are required to carry a 2.0 GPA
per marking period.

Photo Disclaimer: EGR Parks & Recreation is
committed to providing timely information to the public
about our many offerings and programs. We accomplish this through regular printing of detailed brochures and
updates on our website. These publications often include pictures of participants in action to give the public a sense
of the fun and adventure awaiting them. If you don’t want to be in photos for publicity please let the individual
know that is taking pictures.
