Places Where We Play
Notice to all parents/guardians
At any time prior to, or during the season, Kids, Incorporated may request proof of eligibility (grade and/or age) for any participant.
Also, a parent/guardian must list the school where the child currently attends, not where they “prefer” to play. Our teams are formed based upon where children attend school. Any deviation from this guideline must be approved by the Director of Programs.
It is imperative that we maintain credibility in our sports programs. Please make sure you register for the proper grade level or age group, depending on the criteria for each particular sport.
If the sport is grouped by grade level, your child must be enrolled in the grade listed for that particular sports season. We do allow individuals to “play up” one grade level as long as the sport involved allows for your child’s grade level. Please note there are some restrictions listed in the examples below. We do not allow a child to “play down” a grade level.
