WINTER/SPRING 2011 AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES
Registration opens at 7pm, Monday, January 3rd: go to the the League website for the new classes info. Some registration tips:
- Register YOUR CHILD (his/her name, age, etc) with all of his/her information. We are NOT looking for your information. However, make sure you enter YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS to receive all timely information regarding the sport, class schedules, team practices, etc from the coaches or the teachers.
- In the registration system you will be required to create an account and have your child's information stored for future sports and class registrations.
- Our policy for cancellations: Our system requires we pay a fee for every registration up front, therefore any cancellations are refunded at 90% of the class or sport fee. Cancellations will be processed up to 24 hours prior to the second meeting of the sport or class. There will be no refunds or cancellations after the second meeting of the class or sport.
- Late registrations: There are NO LATE REGISTRATIONS ACCEPTED.
- Please do not go directly to classes or sports to 'Walk up' Register - Teachers or coaches cannot accept late or manual registrations!
LOOKING FOR A VP OF AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES: The LLL (Las Lomitas League) is looking for a new VP of After School Classes for La Entrada! The LLL puts on all the after-school classes and we are looking for a volunteer to help us organize new classes and coordinate with the teachers for existing classes. This is a great and rewarding way to volunteer for your kids and La Entrada. If interested or want to learn more, please contact Grace Kim (graceck@yahoo.com, 650-888-7722)
