How do I register my child for a sports program?
From www.ParkerRec.com, select the Online Registration icon at the top of the page. If you would like to view additional information about a sport league, select "Athletics: Youth Programs" or "Athletics: Kinder Programs" and select the sport. League details such as dates, pricing and location will be listed.
When you're ready to register, click "Online Sports Registration" on the right side of the registration home page, or click on the "Online Athletics League Registration Form" link shown at the bottom of the league description page. Either of these links will direct you to a login page where you can sign in using an existing account or create a new account if this is your first Parker Recreation class or league registration. Once you are signed in, you will make a series of selections to choose your sport, season, division, and team.
Youth teams are filled on a first come, first served basis. Registration opens at 6 a.m. on the date listed in the online league description. You can pick a team based on practice day, location and coach. Unless we notify you of a change (occasionally a team will not fill and we need to consolidate), your child is assigned to the team you choose.

My child is big/little for his or her grade. Can he or she play in an older or younger age group?
We recognize that kids come in all sizes, but it is our policy to always place kids on teams with peers in their same grade. This helps us maintain more balanced teams and maintain a recreational, skill-based program. Six year olds in kindergarten may play in either the kinder program or with the first and second graders in the youth program.

How can I find my electronic receipt for purchase verification?

On the left side of the main field there is a link to "View my Athletics Receipts." Choose a family member to view his or her athetics registration history. If you need assistance with a registration, please call our registration office at 303.841.4500.

I haven't been getting team information by email. Why not?
Parker Recreation's sports staff will send periodic updates and reminders to your email account. If you are not receiving these, there are a couple of common causes. First, messages may be getting caught in your email's spam folder. Remember to check your spam folder regularly, or add kthomas@parkeronline.org and rjustis@parkeronline.org to your list of approved e-addresses. Second, you may have requested that the Recreation Department not use your email for communication purposes. If this is the case, be sure to stop by the Fieldhouse to pick up information pertaining to your child's league the week before the first practice.

Where can I find my practice day/time?
Youth sports, with the exception of indoor soccer, have a one hour practice plus one game per week. You pick your child's practice day, time and location during the registration process. To view team information follow the instructions above for viewing your athletics receipts.
<<Back to Top
Will my coach call before the season?
Your coach may call or email his or her team members before the season begins, but not all coaches will do so. If you do not hear from your coach, please arrive at your assigned time and location for your first practice.

How do I view the game schedule and rules for my league?
Schedules and league rules for youth sports are listed online on the youth sports page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select your sport and age division.

What if it's snowing, raining or 40 degrees below zero?
Weather cancellations or delays for youth and adult games will be posted on Parker Recreation's Weather Line, 303.805.3288, as soon as a decision is made. Practice cancellations are determined by your coach.
