Parks and Rec opens Spring registrations

The St. Paul Parks and Recreation Department is moving to a standardized schedule for youth sports registration. Register online (www.stpaul.gov/parks) starting Jan. 1 for spring sports volleyball, futsal soccer and floor hockey.

Discounts will be given to “early bird” registrants: 25% if you register on Jan.1; 20% if you register on Jan. 2; and 10% discount if you register Jan 3-5. Registration will now be held over the course of the full month (used to be a two weeks) of January.

Most programs are held for ages 3-18 (some programs are only held for 10, 12 and 14 and under age groups – but all the info is found online at www.stpaul.gov/parks and in the brochure on the website). The programs typically range in cost from $25 - $75 depending on the equipment needs. There is a scholarship program for any resident that can’t afford the fees.
