Registration questions or problems? Please read this registration page first and then contact registrar@tophampark.com if your question is not answered.
Register early to reserve your spot: We will finalize number of teams in each division and days of play in early February before the balance of the fees are due.
NEW for 2024: We are asking all coaching volunteers to complete a coaches' registration form. This includes volunteers for Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Select Coach and Learn to Play Assistants. By completing this new form, Topham Park can keep track of your completed Rowan's Law forms and your background check to ensure accurate record keeping and to simplify future registration. Please complete the coaching registration form when you register your player, so that we can ensure you are placed as their coach.
