RUMSON RECREATION PROGRAM REGISTRATION POLICY
All
Rumson Recreation sports programs conduct open registrations prior to each
season.
All
registrations, regardless of payment type, must have an affiliated on-line
League Apps Family Account set up.
Credit card transactions may be completed on line.
Cash/Check transaction must be accompanied by a
paper Registration Form and delivered to Rumson Borough Hall, 80 East River
Road. Paper registration forms can be found in the front lobby of Rumson Borough Hall. Check payments are payable to
Rumson Recreation. Do not mail or use the Borough drop box for
Cash transactions.
Payment is due at the time of registration. Registrations are not
complete until payment is made
.
Announcments of new
registrations will be advertised on the Rumson Rec website, on the Rumson Recreation
Facebook page, via our @RumsonRec Twitter account, on the Community Bulletin Boards,
and through the Rumson Public Schools, RCDS, and Holy Cross.
Each year, there are four Open Registration periods:
Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Rumson
Rec strives to keep its Registration Fees as low as possible and so must plan
far in advance with respect to number of teams, number of coaches recruited and
certified, and uniform and equipment purchases. All planning is based on
registered headcount. Late registrations and dropouts impact the quality
of our programs, thus fees are
non-refundable and non-transferable. When
the Open Registration period ends, Spring, Fall and Winter registrations will
be assessed a
$50 Late Fee per
registration. Summer programs will be
assessed a $10 Late Fee per registration. The size of the program is
dependent on field/facility space and volunteer coaches available - no one is
guaranteed placement. Early registration is recommended to ensure
your child's place. If your child is not placed in the activity due to
space limitations, your fee will be refunded.
If you
notify Rumson Rec that you wish to withdraw from an activity and the
participant's spot can be replaced from the Wait List, a credit will be applied
to your on-line account. Rumson Recreation may, at its sole discretion,
grant a refund if requested -- any refunds granted will be assessed a $10
Transaction Fee.
Note: You are responsible for full payment on all registrations,
even if you decide to withdraw from the activity prior to the season
. Completing the on-line
registration form is considered a contractual obligation. Late Fees will
be applied to all payments received after the Open Registration period, even if
the on-line registration form was completed before the deadline.
Late Fees $50 for Fall, Winter
and Spring activities
.
If
you wish to make a payment by check or cash, you must fill out a separate paper
registration form for each registration and turn it into Borough Hall
accompanied by full payment. Incomplete registrations, including an incomplete
on-line family account or incomplete payment, will be returned to the
registrant. Registration is complete only when received with full payment and
processed by Recreation staff. Once fully processed, registrants will
receive an email transaction confirmation of registration.
For
those who have an unpaid registration pending, our former policy applies:
Payment is due at the time of registration. Rumson Recreation reserves
the right to prioritize participants with fully paid registrations if the
activity is full and to cancel any registrations in which payment has not been
received within 7 days. In order to avoid a Late Fee, payment must
be received during the Open Registration period, regardless of when the
registration form was completed.
Rumson Recreation cannot honor requests for specific coaches or team selection. Teams are selected either by computerized random team generation in the younger grades, or a draft or blind draft process in the older grades.
