FRIEND REQUEST POLICY

Participants are allowed to request ONE friend to play with on the same team. Friends MUST request each other and sign up BEFORE the league deadline for the best possible chance to be placed on the same team. Friend requests are NOT GUARANTEED, but we do make our best effort to fulfill them. If the person you requested did not request your child, chances are they will not be placed on the same team. If you want to request more than one friend, please sign up as a TEAM. You do not have to fill the full roster, but you will have the responsibly of providing a coach. Check out our team registration paragraph below for more information.

TEAM REGISTRATION INFORMATION To avoid confusion, coaches who want to create a team are required to fill out a team roster form at the Lindon Community Center. A digital copy is also available by e-mailing the league coordinator at hsilvey@lindoncity.org. This form will help us insure the placement of the correct players on your team. Max per team varies for each sport. Max numbers CANNOT be exceeded. Players who are listed on your team roster will be placed on your team ONLY if they register BEFORE the program deadline. Those who are listed on your roster, but miss the deadline will NOT be guaranteed a spot on your team. Must have a mixture of grades on your team, unless your grade is the younger one in the league. (In the 1st and 2nd grade league you may have a full roster of 1st graders, but not 2nd graders, etc.)

city’s recycling on what they call an “A” week and it will be

changed to the “B” weeks beginning April 6th. Residents

recycling will get picked up on March 30th then again the next

week on April 6th and then every other week going forward

from that April 6th date. An updated calendar highlighting

pick-up dates for the rest of this calendar year will be coming
