***NEW RULES FOR BOUNDARIES THIS YEAR***
A player must reside within the prescribed boundary lines of the Parent Club for which he/she plays the first day of the sports season in progress. A player will be regarded to reside within the Parent Club’s Parent Club boundaries if:
• Their parents are living together and are residing within such Parent Club boundaries, OR;
• Either of the player’s parents or their court-appointed legal guardian reside within such boundaries.
Residence, reside, and residing refer to a place of actual continuous habitation. A place of residence once established shall not be considered changed unless the parents, parent, or guardian makes an actual change of residence.
The Parent Club shall require a document from tier 1 or 2 to prove residence within the Parent Club’s boundaries for new player registrations. Players and their parents/guardians are advised that a false statement of residence will lead to ineligibility to play up to including forfeiture of games and suspension of play for the season.
When an Association Registrar requires an address verification on a player’s residency the parent(s) or guardian(s) of said player will be required to establish residency by providing supporting documents containing the full residence which includes parent(s) or guardian(s) name, street address, city, state and zip code information, dated or in force of the current sport’s year, from one or more documents from EACH of the three Tiers detailed below:
TIER I
• Driver’s License
• School Records
• Vehicle Records (Registration, Lease, etc.)
• Employment Records
• Insurance Documents
TIER II
• Welfare/Child Care Records
• Federal Records (Federal Tax, Social Security, etc.)
• State Records
• Local Municipal Records
• Support Payment Records
• Homeowner or Tenant Records
• Military Records
TIER III
• Voter’s Registration
• Utility Bills (Gas, Electric, Water, Sewer, Phone, Waste Disposal)
• Financial Records
• Medical Records
• Internet, Cable, or Satellite Records
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• Three documents from the same Tier (utility bill, cable bill, and bank statement) constitute only ONE document.
• Certain documents may be used in different Tiers, but will count for only one Tier per player. For example, if a water or sewer bill is used to satisfy Tier II as a municipal record, that same bill CANNOT be used as a utility bill to satisfy Tier III.
• Any documents submitted as proof of residence must show customary usage or consumption to demonstrate actual continuous habitation as determined by the Association Registrar.
The only acceptable deviation of this rule will be in the following alternatives:
1. If a player moves his/her residence, or is transferred to another district as a result of a boundary change during his/her sports career, he/she may elect to finish his/her sports career with the district from which he/she moved or transferred providing he/she has been a registered squad member of that district for at least one year. If the player chooses to remain with the old district, the player is to remain with that district for the duration of his/her sports career. To be eligible to remain with the old district the player and parent/guardian must sign a statement acknowledging they are aware it is for the duration of his/her sports career. This signed statement, must be on file with the Association Registrar before the player will be cleared to play. A one (1) year probationary period applies to all players who have signed a move release form to stay with their previous district. If the player moves his/her residence more than ten (10) miles from the address of record on the move release, he/she may elect to finish his/her sports career with the district he/she moved to or with the previous district.
2. Players who belong to any of the organizations who choose not to field sports for a particular sports season through the pee wee (i.e. baseball) and/or that organization directly fields teams for another organization (i.e. Pony League, Little League, etc.) shall be given the option to play Peewee’s for another KPAPWA club for that sport. Players must return to their Parent Club for all other sports.
3. All original waivers, move releases, and/or exception forms must be submitted to the Association Registrar and processed prior to participation in a game.
