02.01.2008	*NRRC has adopted new payment and registration procedures for all players. All players will still be required to register online at* *www.nrrc.net*. Now when a player is registered he/she will be marked "active" immediately if they are registered and paid by credit or debit card. If a player is registered and paid by check, the player will not be "active" in the database until the payment is received by the Treasurer. A player will not be placed on a team until payments are confirmed by the Treasurer. No exceptions. We have had trouble with players registering and not paying, this will eliminate this problem and reduce our expenses, which continue to rise. NRRC operates solely on money collected from sport registrations. When money is not collected from a player for a particular sport we all suffer. While costs continue to rise for equipment, officials, insurance, field use permits, uniforms, etc. we have tried to maintain our player registration fees as much as possible. We are seeing a greater number of players who do not send their money in during the registration period. For this reason, NRRC will no longer issue uniforms to players who show as "unpaid" within the registration database. Players will be issued a uniform once registration fees have been paid for the current sport that he or she has enrolled in to participate.
