Announcement on Measles Concerns & Response - We are OPEN FOR CHURCH THIS WEEKEND!
With the recent outbreak of measles in Hamilton County we are being proactive to help keep your family safe. We are taking every precaution possible to protect the health of our church community. Measles is easily spread from infected individuals to people who are not immune. Please take this opportunity to place the health of your family first.
We will be opening the Babies and Preschool Ministry for this weekend. Please understand that we cannot assure that we are a measles free facility. We recommend that any child that has not been immunized stay home for at least one more week.
Our facilities are completely safe and sanitized; this measure is due to the person-to-person nature of measles transmission. In other words, per the advisement of the Indiana Department of Health, we encourage participation only if you fit these criteria:

In the spring of 2012 we will kick off our 8th season of youth soccer here at White River Sports. With over 250 kids participating each season, we want your child to be involved, too. We promise we will provide a place for your child to engage in healthy athletic competition.
Early March - Early June
Ten weeks (practice and games)
Currently, our season is seven games long and each game takes approximately one hour to play
Practices are currently one hour long, once a week.
Registration can be done online, in person or by the mail and begins in February, ending in mid-March.
WRS is a grade-based program, not an age-based program. We offer leagues from kindergarten through sixth grade for both boys and girls. Operating off of our fiscal calendar which runs from August - July, a boy/girl must be in Kindergarten during the season in which they are playing to participate.
Your registration fee of $80, includes a team jersey, shorts, socks, and more. All team equipment for practice and games in regard to balls, goals, cones, practice jerseys (pennies), etc., is provided by the league. Players will need to have their own cleats and shin-guards, soccer cleats are recommended but not required.
Participants in the league are not required to be members of White River Christian Church or of any church. The league is designed as a community league open to anyone, regardless of church affiliation.
We do not keep standings, however, we do have a tournament for 4th-6th grade teams at the end of the season. The league is designed to teach and emphasize fundamentally sound soccer, provide players the opportunity to compete, while emphasizing a Christ like attitude.
Anyone is eligible to apply to coach in the league, however, we do complete background checks on all coaching applicants and reserve the right to accept or decline coaches on the basis of our discretion.
