SRA has programs in all seasons for all ages, preschool to adult. If you’re looking for a program, use the pull down menu “Programs” above to select the sport. Programs are organized by season and age-group with some sports offering clinics, others offering recreational/ intramural play, and still others offering travel or tournament options. Don’t forget to check out “Events,” too!
For clinics and intramural programs, registration typically opens the first Monday of the month before the program begins. For travel programs, registration often opens much earlier. (Travel soccer opens in March. Travel lacrosse opens in December.) Most programs offer an Early Bird Coaches’ Registration one week before community registration opens. Secure your child’s spot by volunteering.
SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID
At SRA, we want you to play with us! If you need a little help to make that happen, we’ve got you. We’ve recently made it even easier to apply for and receive scholarship money for our programs. Fill out this FORM. We’ll send you a code. You register. We all play. There is a place for you here.
NEED SOME EQUIPMENT OR HAVE SOME TO GIVE?
Leveling the Playing Field is a local organization that improves accessibility of youth sports by collecting and redistributing used sports equipment. If you need some equipment or have some to donate, please check out their website. Their warehouse is in Sharon Hill, and they work hard to make it easy to get what you need.
COACHING IS THE PRIVILEGE OF ADULTHOOD
Want to make sure the programs you love are able to run? Have a great idea for something we should try? Volunteer to help! Email Sara at Sara@SwarthmoreRecreation.org to volunteer or with new programming ideas! We are always especially interested in ways to make SRA more accessible to all members of our community.
YOUR TEEN CAN BE A MENTOR
SRA hires teens as Sports Mentors to help us run our programs. Mentors work limited hours each week and have fun while helping coach the next generation of players. Plus, SRA makes a fantastic reference. Look here for more information and to sign up.
BE IN THE KNOW BY STAYING IN TOUCH
Many SRA programs fill quickly. We do our best to accommodate late requests to join, but the best way to be sure you will get into the program of your choice is to read our (mostly weekly) emails. Emails contain important registration information and are typically sent on Friday evenings. You can sign up to receive the emails HERE or through the “Stay in Touch” menu above.
