LEAGUES & TOURNAMENTS YOUTH SPORTS FAQs

Can I request for my child to be placed on a specific team?

How do I register? Register on line at csparks.org or use the registration form in this guide. By registering your child you agree to comply with the Parent Code of Conduct which can be accessed on the home web page of each youth sports league and is discussed by the coach at their preseason parent meeting.

How do I register for dodgeball, volleyball and high school leagues?

No, due to the nature of the program, we cannot accept any other coach, player, or carpool requests. However one mutual friendship request will be honored for players in an instructional league, pinto (8U) baseball, or grade 1 & 2 soccer. A park district request forms must be used for these requests and the guidelines listed on the form must be followed. These forms are available at Simkus Recreation Center and on our web site. Request deadlines are the same as registration deadlines (not early bird).

Registration is by grade level. Players are to be registered for the grade the player will be in for 2014/15 school year. Preschoolers must be 4 years old by program start date.

How do I volunteer to help?

How do I register for youth baseball? Registration is by age. Players are to be registered based on their age as of April 30, 2015.

• • • •

How do I register for youth softball?

Registration is by age. Players are to be registered based on their age as of December 31, 2014.

Can my child play up? Playing up is not allowed for instructional soccer or tee ball. For all other leagues playing up is allowed by one age or grade level but the following process must be adhered to: 1. The player must register at his or her age or grade. 2. A request to play up must be made to the program supervisor. 3. The player must attend the evaluation day for the sport and must attend at the time designated for the requested league/ level (i.e. if a player should be playing in the Mustang league but wants to play in the Bronco league, player must attend the Bronco player evaluation).

What happens if I register after the deadline? Players placed on a wait list are not guaranteed placement on a team. If you register before team formation the player will be moved off the wait list if there are enough to form an additional team. However, if you register after team formation, or if another team cannot be formed, placement will only be done when a team or teams are below the established maximum number of team participants. Players will not be added to any team one week prior to the first scheduled game.

Volunteers are used for the following position: League Coordinators Managers/Head Coaches Coaches/Assistant Coaches Tournament Team Managers (Baseball/Softball/Soccer)

What is the meet and greet? The meet and greet is a set time where players, parents, and coaches meet each other and hand out any necessary information, and in some cases will receive their uniforms.

What is the player evaluation? Players get rated based on each skill set for that particular sport. All players are welcome, but required for new players and players who are playing up a level.
