New to Chico?
Welcome!! We are happy to have you!! Once you register your child there are a few things we need from you.
Birth Certificate:
Upon registering your child please email a copy of the child's birth certificate to [email protected]. Please know this MUST be received prior to your child being allowed to participate.
What do my registration fee's cover?
Registration Fee's are calculated and collected to pay for several club & association fee's. As a non-profit organization ALL money collected goes directly to the operations of the club in providing a safe, competitive, and welcoming place for the kids we serve to play sports. These fees pay for several needs such as dues to central council which are what pay for umpires, post season facility rentals, and more. It pays for gear for our players. This includes new/replacement gear, recertification of helmets for safer play, uniforms, and more. Funds help in field & clubhouse maintenance, and although we value our volunteers there are many tasks necessary to keep the field, club house and concession stand up and running properly meeting standards and codes. Insurance is another significant expense, as a club we pay for liability insurance for the grounds, facilities we utilize.
Is my child covered for medical care while playing at Chico?
Club insurance IS NOT THERE TO cover our players medical needs, if that coverage is necessary parents should obtain that coverage privately at their own expense. There are several specific companies that can provide sports coverage for athletes which are different and can be in addition to a child's normal health insurance.
Gear Deposits:
Gear Deposit (A/B/C) is $300/child no exceptions (this is refunded at the end of the season when gear is returned).
Gear Deposit (Flag) is $50/child (this is refunded at the end of the season when gear is returned).
GEAR WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS A DEPOSIT IS PAID (and registration is also paid or arrangements are made).
Deposits can be paid via a CHECK or CASH.
Checks and Cash are held in a secure location and not cashed or deposited unless gear is not returned at the end of the season.
Deposit date is announced when gear return dates are announced.
PLEASE NOTE that while $300 seems like a large deposit, uniforms, helmets, pads, and pants that are issued to your child cost SIGNIFICANTLY
more than $300 to replace if a family does not return it. A helmet alone can cost upwards of $200 or more to replace, and youth shoulder pads
another $100-$175, this does not include the girdle, pants, etc.
Gear Handout:
Families will be notified by coaches, and Facebook announcements as to when gear handout is taking place.
This year it is our intention to do it just before practices start so please watch for dates to be announced.
Gear will be handed out when payment in full is received for the season or with an approved & current payment agreement.
GEAR DEPOSITS ARE REQUIRED PRIOR TO BEING ISSUED, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
COACHES MAY NOT PICK GEAR UP FOR KIDS UNLESS A DEPOSIT IS PRESENTED.

[email protected] to request a payment
plan/scholarship form.

When requesting a payment plan or scholarship and registering a child:
1. complete the registration completely
2. select the pay later or send a check option at the time of registration (this can be administratively adjusted later).
3. the most important goal is to complete the registration so a child can be placed on a team.
VOLUNTEERING & OPTING OUT:
Concession Volunteer Opt Out Fee: $150/child must be paid with registration.
Concession Volunteer Deposit: $150/child must be made at gear handout.
(this is refundable when you volunteer in the concession stand for a 2 hour shift see below)
Chico Pee Wee Association is a 100% VOLUNTEER functioning organization.
This means without volunteers our children do not play sports at Chico.
While we realize that all families are busy, all families have a lot of obligations, when you sign your child up in Chico Pee Wee's you are
agreeing to help volunteer to make the organization function.
Chico by-laws states that for each player the parent/guardian (or another adult on their behalf) must volunteer a minimum of 2 hours. As a club we have prioritized that time to be designated in to the concessions stand. This is one of our major fundraisers for our organization and it helps to offset costs that would otherwise need to be collected thru higher registration fee's. The success of the concessions stand greatly benefits each member of our club. Not only does it help offset registration costs including gear replacements and club general obligations. We do not send our players out to sell or solicit, this along with our raffles, car washes, and field days are our major fundraisers. As a club we host community events, and encourage families to participate in place of soliciting to sell goods as some places have done traditionally.
There is a $100/player deposit required that can be made via check or cash. This is returned to you once you have volunteered in the concessions stand. This must be made at the same time as the gear deposit and must be made prior to gear issue. All deposits left from families that have not volunteered are deposited following the last home game of the season.
Concession Volunteer Opt Out Fee: This is offered at the time of registration online ONLY. If you elect to choose this you will not be required to work in the concession stand during the season. This is NOT refundable. If you pay the fee and then decide to volunteer this fee will not be refunded. The ONLY way to opt out is to pay the fee AT THE TIME OF ONLINE REGISTRATION. You may not elect to pay the fee and opt out after registration.
Volunteering in the concession stand however does not mean families are done volunteering because our work is just beginning. As stated above we are 100% volunteer based. Many other tasks still need to be completed to keep the kids playing. Please know that if you don't do it another parent will have to and if the majority don't it falls to the minority and they will not be able to serve all of our children's needs on their own. Below is a list of SOME of the volunteer roles that families need to help fill during a season.
Please note that the ONLY people exempt from 2 hours in the concession stand is the HEAD COACH of a team. If a coach has more than one child playing they are exempt for the child who's team they are coaching only.
Additional Volunteer Needs:
board members (making executive decisions to keep the Association functioning)
coaches (both head and assistant)
event coordinator (organize carwashes, field day, etc)
field maintenance (mow, weed eating, cleaning up grounds)
facilities maintenance (maintain clubhouse and outbuildings)
field prep (on game day help line fields, set out equipment etc)
REFUND POLICY:
Minimum $15 refund fee unless refund is due to the inability to form a full team.
Full refund within 48 hours of registration time/date- NO exceptions 50% refund before practices begin
There are no refunds once practices begin
*Injury refunds are pro-rated according to the date of injury or doctor’s visit, a note from the doctor must be provided to the club to receive a refund
