The emphasis of this program is on participation and enjoyment.

Fee waivers are available to residents of the Ann Arbor school district in need of financial assistance. A current approved scholarship must be on file for your child’s registration to be processed.

Refund Policy
For complete information on the Rec&Ed refund policy please visit: www.aaps.k12.mi.us/reced.catalog/refund_policies |
| Team Formation(back to top) |
| Participants are assigned to school teams based on their public school attendance areas. Consult our registration timeline and procedures chart for detailed registration placement information.
Team rosters are limited to sixteen (16) players per team unless a team's coach requests more or fewer players for his or her team:
Players will be notified of their team assignment via phone from the head coach. Players who have not heard from a coach by May 28 should contact Rec&Ed office at 734-994-2300 ext. 53225.
If two teams are formed for the same grade from the same school, coaches and Rec&Ed staff will assign players to teams in accordance with departmental guidelines to ensure equally-balanced teams.
Combo Teams
In the case of limited space, participants may be assigned to teams with participants from different attendance areas.
It is not rare for “combo” teams, or teams with participants from two or more different schools to be formed. If your child’s school has filled its primary team roster, a combo team will be formed. Players whose registrations are received during the priority registration period are place on the primary school team first.
Special Requests
If you have any special requests you would like us to consider, for example, to have your child assigned with a specific coach or teammate, you must fill out the Special Request question when registering online or on the registration form. We regret that we cannot guarantee special requests placed after the priority registration period.
Charter, Parochial, Private, and Out-of-District Public Schools
Charter, parochial, private, and out-of-district public school teams can be formed if all grade requirements standards are satisfied and registration deadlines met. Registration must be open for all students that attend these schools. We require a minimum of nine players be registered for a team to be formed. |
| Coaches (back to top) |
| Teams are coached and assisted by volunteers, many of whom are parents. Coaches and team parents are always needed! If you would like to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer question when registering online or the Adult Volunteer section of the registration form. |
