How do I volunteer?             We don't have fundraisers, we have our Concession Stand! Please take a moment to volunteer for one slot. Click here  We also need parents to volunteer to stripe the fields in between games,  volunteer here on Sign-Up Genius. 


What team am I on?         Teams are determined by your child's age as of 9/14.   The number of teams and how they are split, is determined once registration closes.   Your individual coach will reach out to you 1-2 weeks prior to the first practice with your team roster. Here you can see all your teammates and possible carpooling options. 



How are refunds processed?Refunds are at the discretion of the League, mainly for medical or emergency reasons. Schedule conflicts are NOT a cause for refunds, please take into consideration your child's other sports or events before registering. If you need a specific date/time/location please consider volunteering to coach.  No refunds will be given for unforeseen changes in instructor, location, or player absenteeism. Refund checks will be mailed out within 30 days of the date of incident. 

Rain Delays/ Weather Cancellations, how are we notified?If a game has already started and it starts to rain, play will continue.   Light rain is not cause for cancellation.   High winds and lighting will cause a game to end.   If other games in the area (HBR HS or Kaneland ) have already been cancelled due to storms on the radar, HBRYSL will also cancel out of an abundance of caution and respect to those players/families traveling to our fields and those working long hours as Referees in the potential cold rain.   Your coach will let you know if your game has been cancelled/rescheduled. The League will also post its decision on FB as soon as it is made. 

Lost and Found:Lost and Found items in the park are brought to the Concessions Stand, and placed by the rear open doors each game. Please come look for your missing items. We also sometimes post pictures of the items for our FB page so you can check there as well. Any items are kept only for one week after the last game before they are tossed or donated. HBRYSL/BR Park Dist. is not responsible for lost or stolen items. 

Parking and ATV's:
  • Please respect our park neighbors and park in designated parking spots first, saving those for handicapped persons for those with a plaque.
  •  We encourage you to drive your ATV's and park in the grass by the volleyball court. **NO vehicles of any kind are allowed
      on the fields, as posted by Park Dist signage. 
  • The Township Office parking lot off Rhodes, can also be used for extra parking during soccer events. 
  • Please avoid parking in the grass directly in front of the Big Rock Park Dist building as it may be rented out for an event.
