Online Registration will be available to those children who are already in the Paramus
Recreation Department’s computer system (any registration since Winter 2006/not including
Paramus Junior Baseball or Babe Ruth Baseball). Online registration is not and will not be
available to adults. Adults and any child registering for the first time must either mail in
their registration forms (include proof of residency and for children copies of birth certificates)
or come in person during the In Person Registration period of time during the above listed
hours of operation. Online Registration will begin on Monday, February 25th. Late fees will be
assessed starting March 7th. Those programs that have enrollment limitations will accept up
to 50% of their registrations through the online process. Once this quota has been achieved
then the computer will automatically not allow any more online registrations. The reasons
for a 50% limitation are because not everyone has access to a computer and not everyone feels comfortable using their credit cards for online purchases. To register online go to
