How do I register for soccer and tee ball leagues? 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. Participants can participate in Instructional Tee Ball and Instructional Soccer without conflict.

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.

League Coordinators Managers/Head Coaches Coaches/Assistant Coaches Tournament Team Managers (Baseball/Softball/Soccer)

Applications are available at Simkus Recreation Center and online at www.csparks.org. Call 630-784-6100 for further information.

What is the meet and greet?

Can my child play up?

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.

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:

What is the player evaluation?

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).

Players get rated based on each skill set for that particular sport. All players are welcome but new players and players who are playing up a level are required to attend.

Staff Positions - Umpires and Referees Applicants must be at least 16 years of age. Contracts are available at the Simkus Recreation Center and online at www.csparks.org. Call 630-784-6100 for further information.

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.
