Sports Registration policy regarding dates and waitlists:

Before a player can be registered for a program, a membership account must be created and/or activated by paying the $10 annual fee. If the age group of the sport you are registering your player for is full, you will be able to place them on the waitlist.

Waitlists will start immediately for each age group after the maximum registration number has been reached. If a sports age group has been selected for a waitlist, a completed registration will still be processed, but no payment is needed**.

If a spot becomes available, the next player’s parent on the wait list will receive a phone call from 209.472.9622, shown by caller ID, notifying them of the availability and request for registration payment.

You will have until the end of that day to claim the open spot.

The time limit for your players' roster placement will be stated during the phone call or in a voicemail if the parent does not answer the phone call. If the registration payment is not completed within the 24-hour limited time, your player will be dropped from the waitlist and will no longer be able to register for the sport.

The YMCA of San Joaquin County cannot be held accountable if a voicemail message cannot be left at the phone number provided for the following reasons:

• Voicemail box has not been set up

• Voicemail boc is full and cannot accept new messages

• Call cannot be completed

• Phone call was answered and disconnected, not allowing a conversation or message

We reserve the right to close registration at any time when the maximum number of players have been rostered regardless of the number of waitlisted players.

 Maximums vary for each sport's age group

Basketball ages 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 | 60 spots
Basketball ages 13-14, 15-17 | 40 spots
Soccer ages 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 | 60 spots
Soccer ages 11-12 | 40 spots
Itty Bitty: 12 per session
Tennis: 5-8, 9-13 | 20 spots per age range
Flag Football ages 8-10 & 11-13 | 40 spots

 **Annual membership fee of $10 is required to complete registration whether placed on the roster or the waitlist

When is Early Bird, Normal, and Late Registration in the registration periods?
Early registration is the first 2 weeks of registration.
Normal registration is the middle 4 weeks of registration.
Late registration is the last week of the registration period.

When will I find out about my child's practice times and days?
You will find out the week between registration closing and the season starting. Practices are usually at 5:30 or 6:30.

When are the games?
Games are held on Saturdays.

What should I do if I don't get any information? 
First, check your spam folders. If you still don't have any information by the Monday that the season starts, call the office at 209-472-9622 to have your email and cell phone numbers checked. Whatever you put in your registration is what will go in our communication platform. Even the smallest typo can cause big issues! 

I forgot to make a request! Can I change my registration information?
You can! Any answer that does not have a fee tied to it (such as basketball jerseys) can be changed. Call our office at 209-472-9622 and we can assist you. 

I forgot to register my child, we had a lot going on. Is there a way to get my child on a team?
Unfortunately, the transferring of the youth from registration onto teams is not an automatic process. Our staff need that extra week to call waitlisted families, assign youth to teams, and write/send messages. In the rare cases where we have low registration, and we do allow late registrations, we likely will not be able to honor requests due to time constraints.

My child is on the waitlist. When will I know if they are accepted into a team?
Our goal is to have enough players on the waitlist to add 2 additional teams. We make every effort to accommodate the waitlisted players. Parents of waitlisted players will be contacted the week between registration closing and practices beginning for payment of the registration fee and to be placed on the roster. It can take up to 24 hours for the player information to transfer into our management system, PLAYERSPACE, from our registration system, Daxko.

When do I need to turn in Financial Aid by?
Financial Aid applications need to be turned in no later than the end of the second week of registration. This gives our staff time to review the application and apply any scholarships to your account in time for you to register before waitlists start.
