• We strongly encourage participants to utilize the TeamSideline app. This platform provides coordination and updates for players, parents, and coaches, ensuring everyone stays informed and connected throughout the season.
• All EAPRD leagues will utilize  TeamSideline. From this app parents and coaches will be able to see their team's roster, practice schedule, picture schedule, and game schedule.
• To begin using this app, download it from the app store on your phone or device and register your information using the email you register for programs with.
• When your player is rostered on a team in TeamSideline you will receive an invitation in the email that is used for your player's account with the EACC. Once you accept the invitation, you will be able to receive all pertinent team information and schedules.
• All weather updates will be announced using TeamSideline.

• A copy of league rules will be emailed to all participants. TeamSideline will house any pertinent information for the league, including updates for weather or health.
• Practice schedules and rosters will be posted after the registration deadline.
• Game schedules will be posted at the beginning of the season.
• Photo schedules will also be uploaded to TeamSideline.

The Eaton Area Park & Recreation District reserves the right to combine grade or age divisions based on the number of registrations to ensure leagues or activities will run.

Every attempt will be made to allow practices and games to be played; however, if weather conditions present an unsafe environment for participants, spectators, coaches, officials, and/or staff, we will postpone or cancel practices and games. Weather information can be found on TeamSideline and the EAPRD Weather Line at 970.612.6854. There are three situations to look for:

• All games and practices are being played as scheduled.
• All games and practices have been canceled.
• All games and practices will be held at the coach’s discretion. In this case, please assume that practice is being held unless you hear differently from your coach.

For all sports and all divisions, it will be necessary to purchase a reversible red and white jersey at the Welcome Desk of the Eaton Area Community Center. We offer a sleeveless and short sleeve option for all leagues with numbers already printed on the back. Old jerseys can be brought in for a $10 credit towards purchasing a new jersey. Recycled jerseys will be available for purchase at a discounted rate. Jersey must be deemed to be in good condition to qualify as a recyclable at the discretion of the Athletics Coordinators.

• One request per registration:
  • A request to practice at a specific time.
  • A request to play on the same team as a specific player. If you request more than 1 player, only the first listed will be considered.
  • Participants can "play up" an age division at parents discretion. No participant will be permitted to "play down" an age division. Once the decision to "play up" is made, players must remain in that age division for the duration of the season.
  • All leagues will no longer have the option of a coach request during the registration process. This will allow the EAPRD Staff to ensure that games are fairly matched during the season.
  • Coaches will not be permitted to submit rosters, make requests, or form teams.

If requests for any preference exceeds the amount of roster slots, priority is given based on the registration date and time. We will attempt to honor all requests but retain the right to deny any requests to maintain team equality. Therefore, requests are considered but not guaranteed.

Scholarships are available for eligible participants. A Scholarship Request Form must be filled out in person at the Eaton Area Community Center prior to registration. Applications must be submitted and pre-approved before registration. For more information, please contact Jennifer James, Recreation Supervisor at jenniferjames@eaprd.com.

A waitlist will become available once an activity or program has become full. This list will be used to provide us with contact information in case a spot opens up and does not limit you from registering for another open sport. Being added to the waitlist does not guarantee a spot in the activity or program.

Registrations received after the deadline are subject to a $15 fee. Please see page 3 of our Program Guide for our full program/activity refund policy.

Volunteer coaches are always needed!

• Parents/guardians who choose to volunteer to coach their child's team will receive a 100% refund as a credit from their registration.
• If the coach chooses to volunteer for two of his/her children's separate teams, he/she will receive 100% account credit for registration for each of the teams he/she is coaching.
• If a parent chooses to volunteer coach for one child's team but not another, he/she will only receive 100% account credit for the registration of the team he/she is coaching.
• Volunteer coaches who do not have participating children will receive a program credit equal to 100% of the registration fee of the league the coach is volunteering for as an account credit.
• One assistant coach will be issued a 50% credit from their registration.
• They must be approved by EAPRD staff and complete coaching documents.
• Account credit will not be issued until the conclusion of the season.

Please contact a Athletics Coordinator at 970.454.1070 for additional information about becoming a volunteer head coach.
