Can my child be on the same team as their friend?
During the registration process, a parent/guardian can put in a request to be on the same team, but it is not a guarantee. Our goal is to provide a fun experience for everyone while also making new friends along the way.
In order to keep a fair playing field, Greenville Recreation Department takes into account the skill level, experience, and age for each player to create teams. We do guarantee sibilings (excludes extended family) being on the same team and coaches and their children that want to work together.
If you are interested in coaching, you can select "yes" when registering your child or you can call us at 616.754.9163.
