Chrin Center to get New Online Registration

The current online registration for sports at the is so labor intensive, said the center’s director, Dan McKinney, that a new system would be “light years ahead.”

McKinney introduced the new system to supervisors Tuesday night. He said the system – managed by an outside company – would “greatly reduce the hours required to manage registrations.”

For example, he said, when people register for or , the information has to be entered into a spreadsheet by hand before the Athletic Association can use it.

“The new system would give coaches information at their fingertips,” McKinney said.

The program would coordinate teams and schedules, manage contact information and even email the players when the fields are closed in bad weather.

“It’s almost too good to be true,” McKinney said.

The company would collect $4.70 for each $50 registration, but McKinney said the Athletic Association would raise the cost of registrations to $55 to cover the fee.

Now, the township charges the Athletic Association about $1.20 per registration to compile the information.

McKinney suggested trying out the new system with one sport, but thought he would eventually expand its use to all Community Center activities.

approved the concept, but on the condition that the township’s solicitor, Charles Bruno, review the contract.
