development. Players must provide all equipment: helmet, gloves, stick, shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouth piece
and cup. WůĞĂƐĞǀŝƐŝƚĞĂƐƚƉƌŝĚĞůĂĐƌŽƐƐĞ͘ĐŽŵƚŽƌĞŐŝƐƚĞƌĂŶĚŽƌĚĞƌƵŶŝĨŽƌŵƐďǇ&ĞďƌƵĂƌǇϭϱ͕ϮϬϭϲ͘

How does our Buddy System work?
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 require a Buddy Request Form to be
completed before the program deadline in one of two ways:
• completed in person at our office, or
• online at our city website www.eastgr.org.
We match up the forms and our supervisors make every
effort to honor the requests. We limit one buddy request per
child. Coach requests are not part of the Buddy System.
The Buddy System applies to the following youth sports:
K - 2nd Youth Basketball League, 3 & 4 Girls Basketball, 3 & 4 Girls Lacrosse, Flag Football, K - 5 Soccer Leagues
and Little Sluggers Tee Ball Leagues

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

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, K - 2 Youth Basketball
League, 3 & 4 Girls Basketball, 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.
