THE GOAL OF OUR YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS...

...is to provide quality programming with responsible leaders so youth have the opportunity to grow and learn.  We are not a training ground for future stars or college athletes; rather, we are a program in which opportunity for participation is provided to all who enter, regardless of skill or ability level.  We wish to provide youth with a FUN learning experience and the opportunity to develop lifetime leisure skills.

YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM POLICIES

All teams will be formed by the Hays Recreation Commission utilizing a computer software program designed to balance teams by ages or grades and skill level.

A $5 per child late registration fee will be charged for all late registration.  Late registration will be accepted until youth teams are full.  After teams are full all late registration will be put onto a waiting list.  Waiting list applicants will not be guaranteed placement.  Late registration sign-up may not request to be placed on a specific team.

Youth will be contacted by their coach as to when/where practices will be held, as well as game schedules.

Refund policy:  No refunds will be granted after the season begins unless a participant becomes injured or moves away.  Refunds before the season begins will incur a $2.50 processing fee.

Requests for three coaches to coach a team together will not be allowed unless one of the coaches does not have a child participating in the program.

No requests for youth to be placed on the same team will be allowed unless both youth live outside of the Hays city limits and live within a reasonable distance from each other.

Out of district participants will be charged a $5.00 out of district fee per individual.
