1. I don't have a team, can I still play in an adult league?

Free agents should enter their information on the Adult Free Agent Form online. It is up to individual captains to pick players up as needed. While many free agents eventually are picked up by teams, there is no guarantee.

2. What does it cost to be a Free Agent?

Adult Sports registration is generally taken by team only* so fees are charged as a team fee. Free agents who join a team will need to determine their individual fee with the team captain.

*Senior softball registration is taken on an individual basis.

3. Is the registration fee due at the time of registration?

The registration system will take a $100 deposit at registration OR you may choose to pay in full. If you choose to only pay the deposit, the credit card or checking account you paid the deposit with will be automatically charged the remaining balance on the first evening of competition.

4. How many people can play on a team?

This varies per sport so check each sports page for rules. Coed ratios are also listed in each sport's rules.

5. As a participant, what equipment do we need?

• Athletic clothing
• Shoes specific for the sport (Metal cleats are NOT allowed in any recreation program.)
• Water

2. Protruding stones are not allowed.

3. Fitness Trackers may be worn attached to shoe laces, beneath clothing or covered (i.e. with a sweat band).

4. If, in the opinion of the referee, any jewelry (exposed or not) is deemed dangerous to any player or staff, the player must remove it.

7. What is the cancellation and refund policy?

If a league/program is canceled or teams are combined due to insufficient registration, you will be notified prior to the start date and will receive a full refund, credit or transfer to another sport or team.

Adult Sports: Adult Sports league registration is taken by team only, unless otherwise noted. The team captain must pay a minimum payment of $100 that is due upon registration and is non-refundable; captains may also pay in full. Payment of any remaining balance is due on the start date of the league. Credit cards and electronic checks will automatically be charged; cash and sponsor payments must be submitted no later than the start date of the league.

Cancellation, refund and transfer requests must be made seven business days prior to the advertised start of the activity. The initial payment of $100 is non-refundable and there is a $5 processing fee for each change to the initial registration purchase.

Youth Sports: Cancellation, refund and transfer requests must be made three business days prior to the advertised start of the activity. There is a $5 processing fee for each change to the initial registration purchase.

1. Will Virtual Group Fitness Classes continue as facilities reopen?

Yes, as a fee-based activity. As we enter into our Safe Return phase of reopening facilities, which includes reduced capacities, we understand that some patrons remain unable or unwilling to participate in in-person classes in the facility. Our fitness and wellness instructors find tremendous joy in teaching classes for and connecting with our Parker community. They remain dedicated to improving the health and wellness of the people who join their classes, which requires dedicated time, ongoing planning and training, and a financial commitment to maintain appropriate certifications. Our customers who follow particular instructors and class formats and pay a fee to participate in their classes online are appreciated for their devotion to our exceptional staff and for allowing them to do what they love most; leading a customized, interactive fitness and wellness experience just for you. As our Parks and

Recreation Department has experienced significant budget challenges due to COVID-19, supporting virtual, fee-based fitness programs is a win-win.

2. Is this different than my membership or visit passes?

Yes.  Your membership, which has been frozen since the closure in mid-March, will remain on hold until we are able to expand the capacity of the facilities.  The Virtual Group Fitness schedule is separate from your in-person membership and visit passes.

3. What if I’m a SilverSneakers or RenewActive member?

If you are currently a member at the Parker Recreation Center, you still need to register for the Weekly or Monthly Virtual Group Fitness Access to gain the Zoom link, but you will not be charged. If you are not currently a member at the Recreation Center, but you have SilverSneakers or Renew Active through your insurance, you will need to complete this online form to register for the membership.

Registration for the Virtual Group Fitness Access is non-refundable.  Please take into consideration the number of classes and class times when selecting the weekly or monthly option.

6. Can I use my Virtual Group Fitness registration to access the in-person classes?

No. The Virtual Group Fitness Access registration is separate from your monthly membership to the facility, drop in, daily registration or visit passes. In-person Group Fitness classes have a separate per-class registration.

7. Are the virtual classes safe?

Our instructors strive to provide a challenging yet safe class format that can be modified based on different ability levels; ultimately you know your limits. By participating in any Parker Parks and Recreation Virtual Fitness classes it is the participant’s responsibility to consult with a physician prior to, and regarding, participation in any virtual fitness program and you agree to modify the workout to accommodate your fitness ability.

8. Is Zoom safe?

We strive to protect the privacy of our participants during classes. All classes will be muted by the instructor to limit background noise and feedback so only the instructor can be heard. Participants are not required to identify themselves in the class and are welcomed to disable their video so only a blank screen will be visible by other patrons and the instructor. Screen sharing functionality is also not available, to increase security.
