the opportunity
to participate in a variety of programs including soccer, softball,
baseball, field hockey,
basketball, summer camp, theater camp and golf. Additionally, the
committee sponsors two

and a balance of equal play and competition.
SRC holds monthly meetings on the second Thursday of every month, 7:30 pm, at the
Borough Municipal Complex. Please note that times are subject to

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:
-
Summer/Fall (Summer
Camp/Soccer/Field Hockey) - June 15
-
Winter Flag Football -
October 12
-
Winter League Basketball -
October 25
-
Winter Clinic Basketball -
November 10
-
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/shrewsbury
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.
