Forms will be mailed out to residents of Johnson Township in the April Newsletter.
Registration fees are $25/child per sports program. Your fees will help support the purchase of new equipment, maintain the fields, purchase jerseys and provide every player with a meal on tournament day. T-Ball, Intro to 3 Pitch, and Intro to Soccer programs are $15/child.
Surrounding Townships:
Johnson Township supports the organization of the North Shore Recreation Programs for The Town of Bruce Mines, The Township of Plummer Additional, and the Township of Tarbutt. Youth from all three of these Townships will be added to the Desbarats teams. This partnership is made possible by the financial contributions these townships make to the North Shore Youth Recreation Programs.
Volunteers:
These programs only run with the support of community Volunteers. Parents, siblings, Aunts and Uncles make up the Coaches, Assistant Coaches and helpers that keep the games going. Without these dedicated members these teams don’t run. Please consider volunteering to Coach a team. Volunteers can also sign up here.
Umpires and Officials:
We are looking to train a few PAID Umpire and Officials positions. You will be required to attend a 1-to-2-day training session and be available for home games in the various divisions. An honorarium will be issued at the end of the season based on the number of games you officiated. If you are interested, send an email to Patti at ptrotter@johnsontownship.ca.

For any questions or concerns reach out to Patti Trotter: Recreation Coordinator at ptrotter@johnsontownship.ca or 705-782-6601 ex. 205.
