Rocket Football - New League (Grades 3 - 7)
Welcome to Rocket football. The mission of Rocket football is to provide a
safe, fun environment for learning and playing youth football. Rocket football
is a team sport that teaches life-long skills and players will feel a great sense
of accomplishment. Teams are formed in the following grade divisions.
3rd/4th, 5th/6th and 7th. New for 2016, we have broken away from the
Northern Rocket Football League and formed a new league called WMYFL
(West Michigan Youth Football League). The schools in the new league
are: EGR, Rockford, Northview, Lowell, Caledonia and Kentwood. We will
travel to these areas so parents will need to help car pool. All coaches are
trained and certified through USA Football. Please visit our website for more
information at www.eastgr.org. Players must provide their own equipment
(full gear is mandatory and includes helmet, shoulder pads, pants w/pads,
athletic cup, mouthpiece and rubber molded cleats). Game jerseys will be
provided by the EGR Parks & Recreation Department and must be returned
at the end of the season. Teams are selected using a draft procedure, which
means you may not request a buddy or to be on a particular team. Weight
divisions are by grades: 3rd/4th = 125lbs., 5th/6th = 145lbs., 7th = 170lbs.,
players weigh in before each game with all equipment minus helmet. Age is
determined as of September 1, 2016. There will be a scale available at the
Parks & Recreation Department to check your child’s weight. As required by
the league, player insurance is included in your enrollment. Please note that
printable Football forms are available online at www.eastgr.org

Kitchen Chemistry
Come learn the chemistry behind some of your favorite snacks! Students
create their own cake mix using just enough of the right substances that
react to create a fluffy cake. Use the power of the sun to cook s’mores and
trust us, a root beer float is much more fun to eat when you make the ice
cream and the root beer yourself. Chemistry is all around the kitchen and
its fun for everyone!

Household Transfers: Individuals may transfer from an enrolled program to another currently publicized
program without incurring an administrative fee. Transfers must be made two full business days prior to the starting
date of the program you are cancelling. If there is a difference in class fees, the difference will need to be paid at the
time of the transfer and/or any remaining credit balance will be placed on your household account for future use.
Program Cancellations: Must be made a minimum of five full business days prior to the start of the program
and will incur a 20% administrative fee up to a maximum of $15 for each program. Program cancellations made
a minimum of two full business days prior to the start of the program will incur a 40% administrative fee up to a
maximum of $30 for each program.
League Sport Cancellations: Must be made a minimum of five full business days prior to the leagues first game.
Cancellations will incur a 20% administrative fee up to a maximum of $15 for each program. Cancellation refunds
will not be granted for any cancellations made less than 5 full business days prior to the first scheduled game.
Injury or Illness: Refunds can be given to individuals who are injured or ill. A doctor’s statement, verifying
the illness or injury, must be received within two weeks from the time of the illness or injury for a refund to be
considered. We reserve the right to issue a partial refund determined by the amount of participation in the program
prior to the illness or injury.
Waiting List Guidelines: We will create waiting lists for programs/activities that reach maximum capacity and/
or for registrants who register after the deadline. Waiting lists are kept in chronological order for placing enrollees
if openings develop. It is important for parents/participants to understand coaches and instructors do not have the
authority to add participants to their roster. Waiting list placement will be made solely by the departmental staff for
consistency and fairness. Any participant added to a roster without the consent of the Recreation Department will be
grounds for dismissal from the activity and a one-year suspension from future programs.
Sign Up Guidelines for Youth League Sports: We
will accept all sign ups for youth league sports by the
deadline date. Signing up prior to the deadline, participants
receive a $20 discount and are guaranteed placement on a
team. Participants may sign up for a sport after the deadline
only if slots are available. If teams are filled, participants
will be placed on a waiting list and placement on a team
will only occur if an opening develops. Waiting lists are
kept chronologically and placement will occur accordingly.
Signing up after the deadline jeopardizes your child’s
opportunity to participate.
Buddy System: The buddy system applies to the
following youth sports: K-5 Soccer Leagues, Little
Sluggers Tee Ball Leagues, 3 & 4 Girls Basketball and 3
& 4 Girls Lacrosse. The buddy system is designed to allow
children to know at least one child on their team. It may
also help families with carpool issues. We are requiring
both children’s parents to complete and sign the form to
be valid. The form must be completed in person or on
line so we know that you, the registrants, have requested
your child to play with one other child. Limit one buddy
request per child and must be completed by the program
deadline. Due to various criteria, the “Buddy System” does
not guarantee that your request will be honored. This is a
service our department provides for our patrons.
Interscholastic League Sports:
Governed under the
Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA)
-Participants must be enrolled as an EGRMS
student and are required to carry a 2.0 GPA
per marking period.
- A current athletic physical must be on file with
EGRMS dated on or after April 15 of the current
