Youth Athletic League Information
Volunteer Coaches
Many of our youth athletic programs depend on volunteer coaches. Coaching your child’s team offers the opportunity to directly teach the value of good sportsmanship, to learn about a sport along with your child and strengthen lifelong bonds with your child. We understand families are busy, so pair up with another parent to share coaching responsibilities! Not only does your child make new friends, but you do too! Fill out a Volunteer Coaching application on our website or at the Rec Center. We offer voluntary certification courses making a head coach eligible for registration discounts. Contact Ron Woodworth, Athletic Supervisor, at (708) 342-4208 for complete details. Thank you.
Request Procedures
Siblings with the same last name and address are placed on the same team unless otherwise noted. Requests for specific coaches are not honored. Coaches are not allowed to request specific players; coach’s children are automatically placed on his/her team. In order to keep all teams evenly balanced, friendship requests cannot be made.
Refunds
Refunds may be pro-rated if uniforms and awards have been ordered or if the league has begun. Participants are contacted within one week from the program’s start date by the coach. The coach provides the time and location of the first meeting.
