POLICIES TEAM ASSIGNMENT FOR YOUTH SPORTS POLICY Children will be placed on teams in a random manner with the exception of children living in the same household. Parents of children living in the same household may request their children be assigned to the same team, providing the children are in the same age division. To align teams fairly, volunteer coaches may pick one assistant. If a program needs more than two coaches per team, the Parks and Recreation Department will assign the additional assistant from names of volunteers appearing on the registration forms.
DEFINITION OF A FAMILY For the purpose of purchasing family pool passes, or receiving a family discount for our Tae Kwon Do program, a family is defined as all immediate family members residing at the same street address. This would include children of divorced parents who have joint custody, stepchildren, and foster children. Babysitters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and ex-spouses are not considered immediate family members unless they appear on the same federal income tax return.
VANDALISM Each year Norwalk taxpayers must cover the cost of repairing and replacing park facilities that have been willfully damaged or destroyed. Since the parks are unsupervised, it is difficult for park staff to catch the vandals who cause this damage. You can assist by reporting any act of vandalism to the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department at 981-9206 or the Norwalk Police Department at 2223321 (dispatch). Violators will be prosecuted.
