Registration

For Online Registration click here.

Paper forms will be sent home through Whitesboro Intermediate school.  Forms may be turned in to the PARD office during business hours, mailed in, or you may use the black drop box next to the main doors.

Forms can be mailed to:  PARD, P.O. Box 340, Whitesboro, TX 76273.

When registering in-person or using the drop box, the following must be included:

  • Registration form
  • Copy of Birth Certificate (**NEW** A copy must be turned in with each registration!)
  • Exact payment amount
  • Supporting documentation if necessary (i.e. scholarships forms & eligibility documentation, birth certificates, move-up in age forms.) 

All forms and envelopes will be available in brochure boxes next to the drop box by the front doors.  Please make sure to bring a photocopy of a child’s Medicaid/CHIPS card or Free/Reduced Lunch Letter if you are applying for a scholarship; if you do not have a copy, a picture of the card or letter can be sent to pard [at] whitesborotexas.com.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES are now REQUIRED for all registrations regardless if the player has played through PARD before.

PARD only accepts exact CASH, CHECK, and CREDIT CARD (3% fee applied) when registering in-person.

All players who are registered by the deadline will be placed on a team.

Registered players are expected to attend Scout Day so coaches can evaluate all players before selecting their teams.  This creates an opportunity for evenly matched teams and competitive play.

If you have any questions regarding the registration process, please call the office at 903-594-5964

PLEASE NOTE:  Basketball jerseys tend to run small!  The sizes printed on the registration form are from the manufacturer, but we encourage you to size up at least one size, especially in the youth sizes.  The adult sizes tend to run more true to size.  Players will also need black athletic shorts and athletic shoes.
