Thanks to all who have registered to play with us this year. Over 500 players have registered, the largest in MRYC history!

The MRYC Board wishes to thank all of those that attended yesterday’s combine at Liberty Park. We hope that moving to Velocity Sports Performance when the weather deteriorated didn’t inconvenience you.

If your child was unable to attend yesterday’s combine or did not participate in the drills, we will still place them on a team! However, there are 2 requirements for participation in the League:

  1. Official Weight:

    League rules require an official weight for ALL players. If you were unable to attend the combine, please bring your child to the MADISON PARKS & RECREATION Office at 1239 Hwy 51 in Madison (1/8 mile North of Hoy Road on the left) anytime today (8/23) between 1:00 pm and 7:15 pm for an official weight.

    AN OFFICIAL WEIGHT IS ESSENTIAL FOR LEAGUE PARTICIPATION

  2. Birth Certificate:

    League rules require a birth certificate be provided to the MRYC Board. If you haven’t submitted your child’s birth certificate, please email to titansportsmom@comcast.net or drop off at the Madison Park & Recreation office (address above). Please do NOT drop off at Velocity or at the Ridgeland Park & Recreation offices.
