By registering your child you agree to comply with the Participant Code of Conduct. It is discussed by the coach at the preseason parent meeting.
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.
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:
Players placed on a waitlist are not guaranteed placement on a team. If you register before team formation the player is moved off the waitlist if there are enough to form an additional team. However, if you register after team formation, or if another team cannot be formed, placement is only done when a team or teams are below the established maximum number of team participants. Players are not added to any team one week prior to the first scheduled game.
Registration is by age. Baseball players are to be registered based on their age as of April 30, 2019. Softball players are to be registered based on their age as of December 31, 2018.
Players are to be registered for the grade the player in for the 2018/2019 school year. Preschoolers must be 4 years old by the program start date. Participants can participate in Instructional Tee Ball and Instructional Soccer without conflict.
No, due to the nature of the program, we cannot accept any other coach, player, or carpool requests. However, one mutual friendship request is honored for players in an instructional league, Pinto (8U) baseball, or grade 1 and 2 soccer. A Carol Stream Park District request form 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 csparks.org. Request deadlines are the same as registration deadlines (not an early bird).
