On the first day of registration do I need to get in line early to IMPROVE my chances of getting into an activity?
No, the department uses a “Lottery System” which has been approved by the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Advisory Commission to discourage camping out or waiting in line for hours in advance of registration. The lottery system is used on the first day of resident and nonresident registration only and operates under the following guidelines:
Promptly at 8:45 AM those that are present at the Community Center will be given the opportunity to randomly draw a number. Patrons will then be instructed to line-up according to their number. Each person may only draw one number. Those arriving after 8:45 AM will go to the back of the line. Registration will then be taken starting at 9am beginning with #1, #2, etc.
One person may only register for one family at a time. Participating in the activity during the previous year, DOES NOT guarantee a place the next season or the next year. You must register each time. Also, for the purpose of returning to the same team in Youth Athletics, that determination is made from one Spring to the next Spring and from one Fall to the next Fall.
