Procedures and Priorities for Scheduling Use of 4J Gyms and Ball Fields. <br /> The intent: To make all 4J sites available for use as much as possible by the community in a <br /> way that is as inclusive and respectful as possible. To honor historical partnerships with 4J, <br /> including recognizing beneficial trades of sites. To support use of 4J sites by the community, <br /> prioritizing programs that serve and accept children regardless of level of skill and ability to <br /> pay. To recognize that providing child care for students in their home schools where they feel <br /> safe is a very high priority. <br /> A. School District programs have first priority. Approved youth organizations must <br /> prepare and coordinate their schedules so there is no conflict with school sponsored <br /> activities or with each other. <br /> Kidsports, as the largest user of 4J gyms and ball fields will be responsible for schedul- <br /> ing all Class I youth athletic groups who have requested use of 4J facilities under these <br /> guidelines. All teams must be treated equally as to the number of practice hours and <br /> games each may schedule within the available time slots which have been identified by <br /> the schools and conveyed to the requesting youth groups. <br /> Practice and game schedules must be submitted to the school principal or designee, <br /> usually a SEP (School Enrichment Program Coordinator), prior to the start of activities <br /> and must be posted in a conspicuous location at each gym. This is necessary to confirm <br /> who the authorized user is at any given time. For field use, a 4J facility use form or a <br /> letter issued by Kidsports must be carried by each team coach or authorized field user to <br /> confirm authorization to be on a given field. <br /> B. City of Eugene and River Road Park District use that is provided for in the respec- <br /> tive City and River Road Park/District 4J reciprocal agreements will be honored first, i.e., <br /> parks and rec. programs of long standing. The City will also retain the right to choose a <br /> 3 -hour block of time on Saturday and a 5 -hour block of time on Sunday and the gyms <br /> they wish to use in each middle school building. <br /> C. District sponsored or contracted child care site users will also be honored first as in <br /> II.B. above. SEPs will work with child care site users to support them in using a large <br /> open space, which could include a gym, for part of their time, leaving some gym time for <br /> 2 <br />
