Notice to all Shrewsbury Recreation Participants
The
Recreation Committee has managed to accommodate all late
registrations, with few exceptions, to our clinic and league sports
programs. However, as late registrations impact team rosters (often
negatively by reaching roster capacity), shirt orders, and number of
teams committed to the leagues, the Recreation Committee is creating
a year-round registration schedule with fixed deadlines as a
way to simplify the process for families and assist the Recreation
Committee efforts in making each sports program enjoyable for all of
the children. This new schedule is
as follows and will be effective starting with 2008 Spring
Softball/Baseball Season:
o
Summer/Fall (Summer
Camp/Soccer/Field Hockey) – June 15
o
Winter Flag Football –
October 12
o
Winter League
Basketball – October 25
o
Winter Clinic
Basketball – November 10
o
Spring
(Baseball/Softball) – January 15
We will
continue to send email reminders to everyone registered on Community
Pass, do backpack inserts for children at Shrewsbury Borough School,
and post registration dates on the firehouse marquee. Families that
do not have children in Shrewsbury
Borough School are encouraged to
register at Community Pass:
https://register.communitypass.net
If a
registration deadline is missed, we will make every attempt to
accommodate your child, within the team roster limits previously
established. If we are able to place your child on a team, a late
fee of $100 per child will be applied. The late fee will not apply
to Kindergarten through second grade (clinic programs) or the summer
camp program.
The Recreation
Committee believes that a fixed calendar will greatly assist parents
with registration, allow the Recreation Committee to better manage
the recreation programs, and to ensure the children have every
opportunity to participate.
