REGISTRATION PROCEDURERegistration will take place at the Rec & Ed office, 1530 Eisenhower Place between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm on the dates below. League Pre-Registration (for returning teams) Open Registration All leagues Monday, July 27, 2009 Tuesday, July 28, 2009 All team registrations are due by 4:30 July 31. Teams registering after July 31 will only be added until Aug 7 IF THERE IS AN OPENING IN THEIR LEAGUE. All registration is on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis.
Captains do not need to know WHO all their players are before they register a team. To ensure getting a spot in the league, captains are encouraged to register promptly July 27 or 28, then finish confirming their players. Team rosters are not due until 9/3/09.
Team registration forms and player contracts are available on the 'forms & rules' section of this website.
Pre-registration is open to all returning Rec & Ed volleyball teams that played in a league during Spring, Winter, or Sand 2009, or Fall 2008. A team must meet one of the following criteria in order to be considered a returning team: (1) Have a returning sponsor (2) Have a returning captain (3) Have four returning players with signatures (2 for Quad leagues).. Open registration is for all new teams or returning teams that did not participate in the league during the previous year.
You can now sign up your team online. Receive immediate confirmation of your league placement with the
same priority as walk-in registrants. Captain’s packet is mailed out within 3 days. NOTE: Online registration is for initial / sponsor registration only, which reserves your team’s spot in the league. Captains will still need to come into the office by the contract deadline date to bring in their roster, player contracts, team fee, and non-resident fees.
Only returning captains can register online during the pre-registration period (July 27, 2009). Returning captains will receive a code to use to pre-register. Anyone with an online account can register online after July 27, 2009.
