Policy Change Concerning Playing Youth Sports For Another Community

Evendale Recreation Commission –Policy Change Effective January 2017.
Residents will no longer receive a credit on account, nor refund,  for the variance in other organization’s sports program fees, when Evendale does not have enough children registered and cannot field a team in a particular sport.  If a Department’s program has insufficient numbers to field a team, the Department will continue to make every effort to place a child(ren), that has/have registered to play, in another organization’s program.

    tennis that gets kids ready to play middle school & HS tennis!  They will travel to other recreation centers or swim and tennis clubs in Cincinnati.  Transportation to and from matches will be provided by Rec. Center when available.  Parents are encouraged to attend matches and may drive their child to and from.

    This program is designed to provide an opportunity for players to test their skills against other players from around Cincinnati.  Players must have intermediate skills and be able to sustain a baseline rally, serve
    consistently, and be able to score.  Players may not be ranked tournament players.  This league is for beginning tournament/recreational players.  If your child does not meet the above standards, the pro may suggest lessons for a season before joining the team.   Communication between instructors and parents/players will be stressed.  Children who want to play in matches must make an effort to be at all practices.  Parents should communicate any absences to the instructor.  All kids who make this effort will be given match play opportunities.   
     
    Registration Deadline:  May 1
    $40 Residents (Non-residents who live in a community that is not in the league…may sign up for $50 starting May 2, if spaces allows.)  Questions on this, call or email Kristen Maiden 513-563-2247 or
