What is the cut-off date

September 1, 2006

Can my child play down?

No, with the exception of a doctor's certification that this child is under normal physical development

My child is waiting to get accepted for varsity basketball, but I would like to sign up now to secure the spot just in case we do not make it to high school varsity.

You can register now but there is a deadline for refund and cancellations. Refund and cancellation policies can be viewed online: Refunds are subject to $15 processing fee. No refunds after November 10.

My child has practice (examples: violin, piano, ballet, cheerleading, basketball, baseball, etc) and would like to make sure there will be no conflict with basketball.

(Please email us at Basketball Questions so we can provide you with an approximate day/time.)

I have been participating in your programs for many years. Does that make me a member?

No. Membership refers to being a member of the Northside UMC church, not partcipation in Sports and Recreation programs.

My kids have participated in your basketball camps before. Does that qualify us as returning players?

No. Returning players refer to basketball league only, although not in consecutive years.

Yes. Siblings of returning players can register on the same day.

I would like to pay for my registration in person.Can you hold my check until I know for sure that we can participate?

No. Checks will be processed immediately and will be subject to terms of cancellation and refunds. If a balance remain until November 10th, the registration will remain in incomplete status and will prevent us from drafting your child to a team.

I am trying to register and my username and password are not working.

This is a new website. If you have not created your profile with us since last summer, you need to create a new username/password and profile to be able to register.

Can I create my username/password and profile before registration date?

Yes. Please click on "Membership" on the left margin of the website.

If my husband or I volunteer as a coach, will this qualify us to register before October 5th?

Only if you are a confirmed coach through Kelley Stonis, then you can register as a volunteer and we will give you permission to register earlier. Registering yourself as a volunteer does not automatically qualify you as a confirmed coach.

We are going to be out of town on our registration date. Can we register early?

You can only register on the day you are qualified for, however you can register as early as 12 am on that day. Please do your best to access the website during your vacation time. If this is impossible, please go to the website now to create your username/password and your profile and call us on the day of your registration so we can help through the phone. Please understand that we are going to be busy due to registration and may not be able to help you immediately.

I would like to add a child now, but when I log in I can only edit or view payment. How do I add another child?

You can only add a child on the day of registration. Click on "Browse Programs" on the left margin on the day of registration.
