Fall
Select the sport(s) you wish to register for and please note the registration deadline for each sport and the following important information:
1) Athletes who participate in golf cannot participate in tennis, since both sports practice on Thursday evenings.
2) Athletes who select a team sport (flag football, soccer, volleyball), must commit to participating in all qualifiers and competitions.
3) Note the practice days, as there are overlaps. For example, soccer and volleyball practices are both on Wednesday evenings. An athlete cannot participate in both.
4) Due to limitations in facilities and/or volunteers, we may not be able to accommodate all athletes who register. If needed, wait lists will be established. Wait lists will be established based on registration date and the below considerations:
A) Athletes who reside in Howard County are given priority over athletes who live out of county.
B) Athletes whose family members volunteer will have priority.
C) To provide participation opportunities for as many athletes as possible, athletes who register for only one sport may be given priority in that sport over athletes who register for multiple sports.
