RECREATIONAL SPORTS PHILOSOPHYErie Parks & Recreation strives to provide a positive, safe, and fun environment to allow children of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to play. We provide 2-3 contacts per week with enthusiastic parent volunteer coaches and hope to create an environment that is somewhat competitive and teaches each child valuable life lessons such as teamwork, commitment, hard work, and sportsmanship. At the conclusion of the season, we hope your child learned about the game, improved skills, and wants to play again.

YOUTH SPORTS NEWSLETTERWe are now sending a Youth Sports E-Newsletter around the first of every month that includes current season updates and highlights, upcoming dates and deadlines, coupons, interesting youth sports articles, and more! If you are not receiving this newsletter and would like to, you must check your customer account with Guest Service at the Erie Community Center to subscribe to the Youth Sports Promotional Email. Unsubscribe instructions are included at the bottom of each email.

UNIFORMSAll league fees include a game jersey or t-shirt depending on age. Shorts, pants, or socks are not provided. Jersey colors are chosen at random, no requests will be accepted, and uniforms may not be altered in any way.

REGISTRATION DEADLINES/WAITLISTSRegistrations are accepted until the registration deadline or until leagues become full, whichever comes first. Additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist and we will only contact you if a spot becomes available. Team numbers are based on the number of volunteer coaches and field/gym availability for each league at the registration deadline. New teams will not be added after the deadline. We strongly encourage you to register as early as possible for each league as space is limited.

SPECIAL REQUESTSOnly one request will be considered from the following three types of requests:

1) Coach Request - A request to play on a specific coach’s team. Please confirm with the coach prior to registration.

2) Player/Friend Request - A request to play on the same team as a friend. Both friends must request each other for the request to be considered.

3) Practice Day Request - A request to practice on a specific day or time. We do everything possible to honor all requests, however, requests are not guaranteed. Priority is given based on registration date, so please register early.

WHEN WILL I HEAR FROM MY COACH?Coach meetings are typically held four days after the registration deadline and 1-2 weeks before your first scheduled practice. Team rosters are distributed at the coach meeting and all coaches are encouraged to begin contacting their team members as soon as possible. If you have not heard from your coach by the Thursday before the league is scheduled to start, please contact the Erie Community Center at 303.926.2550 for assistance. BACKGROUND SCREENINGAll coaches and parents wishing to help must complete a background check every two years. Please contact [email protected] for a form. OFFICIALSAll leagues for children ages 8 and under are self-officiated by coaches and parent volunteers. Games for ages 9+ are officiated by a contracted official or staff member. Due to the recreational nature of our leagues, in most cases, games will be officiated by one official.

COMPETITIVE SPORTS OFFERINGSWe understand that Erie Parks & Recreation sports leagues do not fit everyone’s needs so if you are looking for a more competitive offering for your child, we have compiled the following list of organizations in the area that may be a better fit for your family. This list is not all-inclusive and is intended to provide a few options to begin your research.
