**PLEASE REGISTER EARLY! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!
All registrations will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Late registrants cannot be guaranteed league placement.

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE for sponsor/initial registration beginning at 9 AM on March 6.

• NOTE:  Online registration is for sponsor/initial 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.
• You will receive immediate confirmation of your league placement with the same priority as walk-in registrants.
• Before registering online, captains must set up an online Rec & Ed account. Please do this ahead of time to prevent last-minute problems. Setting up an account is free & easy.

3 Ways to send in your team’s registration form and sponsor fee before the registration period begins!

1. Mail the team's sponsor fee and completed registration form to:
   Rec&Ed Kickball
   1515 S. Seventh St.
   Ann Arbor, MI 48103.

Registrations received by mail, drop box or fax before your league’s registration date will be processed at 5:00 PM on the first day of registration. Priority will be given to walk-in registrations throughout the registration period.  Any mail-in, drop box or faxed registrations received after open registration begins will be processed at 5:00 PM the day they are received.

Managers' packets will be mailed out within three days of the registration being processed.

Rosters, contracts and player fees must be submitted in person at the Rec&Ed Main Office. Contracts will NOT be accepted via FAX, mail, or drop-box.

The Sponsor Fee is the initial fee paid by all teams at registration to reserve their spot in the league. All teams pay both the sponsor fee AND the team fees, regardless of whether or not a team has a sponsor.

Sponsor fees are due at time of team registration. All fees (sponsor and team fees) must be paid at Rec & Ed, 1515 S. Seventh St., Ann Arbor, MI 48103, between the hours of 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM.

Non-resident fee: Applies to all players who reside outside the boundaries of the Ann Arbor Public School District.

Player contracts, rosters and team fees are due Mar 11 - May 9. Any contracts or team fees submitted after May 9 will be assessed a late fee of $2.00 per contract.

Rec & Ed will accept cash, money orders, certified checks, corporate checks, a single personal check or credit card from the team sponsor, team manager, or a designated, registered team member for sponsor fees, team fees or tournament fees. No personal checks will be accepted for partial payments or late fees. Checks should be made out to the Ann Arbor Public Schools or AAPS. 

RETURNED CHECK POLICY
If any check is returned NSF, the team in question will forfeit all of its games from the point of notification from Rec & Ed, until a cash payment is made for the amount of the check plus an additional $50 league re-entry fee.
