Uniforms Youth participating in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports need to have two uniform t-shirts, one red and one blue. The playing schedule dictates which color shirt to wear for each game. These shirts are used for all youth sport programs and are available in a variety of youth and adult sizes and can be purchased at the Civic Center for $6 each. Rosters Rosters for all teams are formed via random selection. Parents may request their son/daughter be placed on a team with one other child for legitimate carpooling reasons. Some carpooling requests may not occur. This information needs to be indicated on the registration form (no exceptions). Once teams are formed, coaches are responsible for contacting players on their rosters to set up practices and distribute information. Coaches Wahoo Parks and Recreation utilizes volunteer coaches for all youth sport programs. All head coaches are required to attend a training clinic and are certified through the National Youth Sports Coaches Association. The training provides coaches with instruction on general coaching philosophy and principles as well as sport-specific information. Schedules Playing schedules will be available March 20th at 2pm on this website. Miscellaneous Participants and their parents/guardians should be aware that there is a risk of injury during participation in Wahoo Parks and Recreation youth sports due to the inherent nature of the activities. Individuals participate in Parks and Recreation youth sports at their own risk. Questions Contact Bob Schmidt at the Civic Center at 443-4174 during normal business hours.
