2016 Parks & Recreation Activity Guide
Welcome
A message from the Mayor
On behalf of Richfield City, I welcome you to another year of recreational programs.
They have been well thought out and planned to give recreational opportunities for all
ages. We appreciate our staff, parents and volunteers who make this possible.
I believe that having a great recreation department that is committed to good
programs, is one of the reasons we love this community. Volunteers aren’t paid--not
because they are worthless but because they are priceless.
Dave Ogden
Mayor
Registration for activities with dates marked in bold will take place on the day of the event.

General Policies
Registration for Programs
Refunds
Registrations for every recreation program will be taken on
a first-come, first-served basis until the program has reached
capacity, or until the registration deadline has passed.
Registration forms must be filled out and turned in with
complete payment during the registration period to ensure
a spot in any class, league, or event. If there are remaining
openings available once the registration deadline has passed,
registrations will continue to be taken until all spots are filled.
Payment may be made in the form of cash, check, debit or
credit cards, at the Richfield Parks and Recreation Office at
75 E Center Street, Richfield.
Individual registration payments for classes or youth leagues
will be refunded as follows:
1. Richfield City will refund all but $5.00 of the fee paid if the
cancellation is made before teams or classes have been set.
2. Richfield City will refund one half of the fee paid if the
cancellation is made after teams or classes have been set.
3. Richfield City will not issue refunds of fees paid once
leagues or classes have started.
4. In verified cases of season-ending injuries or illnesses, prorated refunds may be made as authorized by the Parks and
Recreation Director.
Adult League Fees
Poor Weather/Game Cancellations
Outdoor games and activities will typically be held despite
mild inclement weather. In cases of substantially poor or
unsafe weather conditions with no sign of improvement, the
recreation staff may make a decision early on to cancel games.
In theses cases, coaches or captains will be notified by 3:00
p.m. that games for that evening have been cancelled. If no
call is received by 3:00 p.m., games will be held according to
schedule pending a possible further decision made on-site at
game time depending on the weather. Due to the constant
changing nature of Utah weather, the majority of weatherbased cancellations will occur on-site at game time.
Adult leagues are funded by a team fee which is due in full at
the time of registration. If a sponsorship is sought from a local
business, it is recommended that no more than one half of the
entire team fee be requested, and that the remainder of the fee
be collected from individual team players. No registration for
any adult league will be accepted without the accompanying
team fee paid in full.
Medical Insurance
Richfield City does not provide medical insurance for
participants in recreation department programs. Participants
engage in these sports programs and activities at their own
risk, and must have their own medical insurance adequate to
cover any possible injuries sustained while participating.
The Richfield Parks and Recreation staff would like to thank all the excellent volunteers, coaches, and local businesses who have given of their time and
means throughout the year to make our programs successful. We appreciate you
and ask for your continued support.
We encourage everyone to come and be a part of our efforts to build and
strengthen this community through wholesome recreation. If you are interested
in volunteering as a coach, event helper, or business sponsor, please let us know.

2016 Parks & Recreation Activity Guide
Youth Sports Philosophy
The goal of Richfield Parks and Recreation’s youth sports program is to provide
affordable, inclusive leagues where all children regardless of ability can
participate in a fun, organized, and safe environment where they can learn the
principles of sportsmanship, respect, teamwork, and fair play.
Parent’s Role
watch the participants, noting those that appear to be at
a higher level, those that are average, and those that are
less experienced. Immediately after the practice session,
participants leave and the coaches will work together to
organize a specified number of teams with the help of a
member of the recreation staff. By design, coaches will
not know which team will be theirs, creating an atmosphere where it is in their best interest to ensure that all
teams appear as even as possible.
The youth sports leagues provided by Richfield Parks
and Recreation should be considered learning and training leagues at all levels. The success of our youth sports
program relies on the assistance of parents who understand and adopt the above-mentioned goal and principles. Parents who embrace this goal will strive to create
an atmosphere where children can learn and grow and
feel welcomed.
Orientation Meetings
Once teams are set, coaches will draw randomly to pick
their team. Coaches’ children are not included in the
draft, as they will be added to their parent’s team after the teams are assigned. Teams may be adjusted if
the addition of the coaches’ children creates any notable
unevenness among them. Also, any requests for individuals to play together may possibly be honored at this
time, but only if all coaches agree on the trades. Once
the meeting is over, teams are set and no further trading
of players will be allowed.
A coach’s orientation meeting is held before the start
of the season of each youth sport. Rosters, schedules,
rules, and equipment are distributed, and information
on sportsmanship is covered, with an emphasis on the
responsibilities of the coach. Coaches must fill out a
volunteer coach application which authorizes a criminal history background check, and must read and sign a
coach’s Code of Conduct.
Team Organization
Sportsmanship
In general, teams for leagues that include grades five and
up will be formed using a draft system that discourages
uneven, or stacked teams.
There is no place within any recreation program for any
form of verbal or physical abuse from any individual.
Anyone guilty of harassment, taunting, swearing or profanity, or any other form of unsportsmanlike conduct
may be asked to leave the facility immediately. Failure
to comply with the requests of recreation staff may result
in a forfeiture of the game, and possible suspension from
further participation (as a player, coach, or spectator),
and/or legal action.
Drafts will take place a few weeks prior to the parent’s
and coach’s meetings. All participants in these leagues
will attend a practice session where they will perform
various drills and activities that will demonstrate their
level and ability in that particular sport. Those parents
who volunteered to coach will be in attendance and will

Brooks running gear from Christensen’s in Richfield. All runners

Race check-in / Day-of Registration:
As an extra motivation to come out and run with us, anyone
who competes in three out of the four 2016 races will receive an
additional prize that you can brag about to all of your friends. There
is no extra fee required. (Sorry kids, the 1-mile runs don’t count!)
7 – 7:45 a.m.
CHRISTENSEN’S RED ROCK RUN-OFF
This has quickly grown into one of our most popular events!
There are two options for you to choose from in this challenging
trail run: either a 4.5-mile distance or a 10.5-mile distance. Both
races take place concurrently and begin and end at the same
location.
The shorter route covers 4.5 miles of varied terrain, heading
through town on the paved bike trail, up to the water tower, and
along the rugged dirt trail that parallels the freeway along the
west hills back to the starting location. It’s no walk in the park,
but it’s fun and do-able for the average runner.
The second option is a 10.5-mile route that heads north along
a section of dirt trail running parallel to the freeway, and then
returns to town along packed dirt canal roads where it joins the
paved bike trail, and completes the race following the shorter
route described above.
