It’s hot outside, but fall sports are just around the corner! The Whitesboro Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is conducting registration for its youth soccer and youth volleyball leagues.
The soccer league is available for children ages four to nine. The volleyball league will include two different age divisions: girls in the 3rd/4th grades and the 5th/6th grades. The deadline for registration for both is Friday, Aug. 14 at 5 p.m.
The fee for the soccer league is $50 while the fee for volleyball is $70. There is a family discount off the total amount to be paid of $5 for two children participating or $10 for three children participating. There is also a scholarship program to assist with fees; call the PARD at 903-564-5964 about scholarship availability and a payment plan if needed. To be eligible for a scholarship, you must apply before the registration deadline. There will be no scholarships given after the deadline.
Scout days for each sport will be as follows: U8 and U10 Soccer – Monday, Aug. 24 at the Wilson Street Soccer Complex; Volleyball – Tuesday, Aug. 25 at Hayes Primary Gym. Times for various age divisions may be found on the department’s website.
Registration is available at the Whitesboro Community Center at 400 Wilson Street and at the department’s registration platform, Whitesboro.recdesk.com. If new to this platform, create an account on RecDesk, add children to your Household, and then find registration under the Programs button.
Information is also available on the Parks and Recreation pages of the city’s website, Whitesboro.org. Registration forms and fees should be turned in to the Whitesboro PARD at 400 Wilson Street or at P.O. Box 340, Whitesboro, Texas 76273.
Teams will begin practicing in early September, and the league games will begin in mid-September. Games will be played in Whitesboro on Saturdays.
