All players living outside the city limits of Hickory must pay a $40.00 non-resident fee.

Those children who have previously participated in Parks and Recreation Department programs may register by telephone.

All children participating are encouraged to purchase accident insurance coverage. The $6.00 insurance covers the participant for a one-year period from March 1, 2008 until February 28, 2009 in all activities sponsored and supervised by the Parks and Recreation Department. The $250,000.00 coverage is primary coverage that pays regardless of other insurance, directly to the participant, doctor, or hospital. The insurance must be paid at the time of registration.

Any adult who is interested in coaching or helping with a team is asked to contact the Parks and Recreation Department.
