- What division should I sign my child up for?
- Ages are determined as of the first practice of the season. Players must be enrolled in the correct age division. We do not allow players to move up a division because of the large number of players enrolled and on the waitlist. Proof of age is required at registration.
- What is the status of my child currently on the waitlist?
- You can check the status of your child’s waitlist position by logging in to your account and clicking the “Waiting List Status” under your account. Youth Sports monitors the waiting lists daily and will contact you as soon as there is an opening. If we have not contacted you, no opening has become available.
- Do I need to bring any specific equipment for player assessments?
- You do not need to bring any equipment for all sports other than baseball. If it is baseball, a glove is the only piece of equipment needed.
- When will a coach contact me?
- Coaches have until the Sunday before practices are scheduled to begin to contact their players. Coaches will receive their rosters with the children’s names, phone numbers, and email addresses used on the account.
- Do you offer refunds?
- A full refund will be granted before the coach’s meeting. A $14 fee will be assessed once teams have been formed. Refunds will not be granted after the second game of the season.
- Can I move my child to another team?
- We do not move participants from teams. Teams are selected by age group and/or draft, and participants must remain on the assigned team until the season’s end. Since we do not move players from the team they were originally placed on, we can refund you.
- When and where will practices be held?
- Practices will be held at local City of Santa Clarita facilities, schools, parks, and Hart District gymnasiums. Practices are held once a week between the hours of 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. Coaches will select the day and time that works best for them. If the practice schedule does not work for you, we can offer a refund you.
- What is a Live Scan?
- Live Scan is a process where digital fingerprints are submitted to the California Department of Justice for criminal history background checks. All coaches and assistant coaches have to go through this background-checking process before participating in any form of coaching.
