7. When I register my child, what information will I need?

On your initial visit, we will ask for a birth certificate that will remain on file as long as your child participates in Greenville Parks and Recreation Department (GPRD) programs. Each year you will need to update insurance information and provide us with shirt sizes for your child.

Each child must have insurance coverage before he or she can participate. If you don't have your own policy, we can provide (for a small fee) a policy through one of our affiliate organizations.

The registration fee is $50.

10. What does the registration fee provide?

In baseball and softball, your registration fee covers the cost of a cap and shirt. In basketball, shirts are provided.

11. It's raining. Are we going to play tonight?

Canceling games is something we don't like to do, so we wait until all doubt is removed before making that call. When a decision is made, we will post that information on our GPRD facebook and our alerts. Sign up here:

12. When I get my schedule, is it set in stone?

We'd like to say it is, but because of rainouts and other unforeseen problems cancellations may occur. We do adjust the schedule from time to time for makeup games, etc. This information will be communicated through our alerts.
