Program detailsGames and practices are on unless your coach tells you otherwise. Weekday decisions generally reach families through coaches by around 3:00 PM, and weekend decisions by around 8:15 AM.
The Borough decides whether fields are playable and emails the commissioners. Commissioners tell coaches, and coaches tell their families. Check messages from your coach for the final word.
Stay in the loop
Registration windows, season news and what is opening next, for every ARC program in one list. Closures still reach you through your coach, not from here. You do not need a child in a program to subscribe, and you can leave at any time.
ARC depends on residents and students in different ways. Coaching a team, officiating a game and serving on the commission are separate commitments, so each has its own place to start.
Every sport
Parents and students can coach for ARC. One three-hour safety course comes first, and once you have passed it, it is good for your lifetime.
Games
High school students umpire ARC baseball and softball games in grades 3/4 and 5/6, and are paid $50 per game. Email ARC if you are interested.
Commission
ARC is staffed entirely by volunteers and depends on residents willing to help programs and fields run well.
Football, lacrosse, wrestling and travel programs are run by separate organizations.
Local sponsors help ARC keep registration affordable and programs running.
