HOW DO I SIGN UP FOR RECREATIONAL BASKETBALL?
Below are some helpful tips on using our registration site:
(1) After selecting the “Register” button, please select the “Member Login” tab under the LMVSC logo.
(2) When creating a member login for the first time, be sure that your password contains an Upper Case letter, a lower case letter, a number and a special character. Please be sure that your password is eight characters in length.
(3) Continue following the instructions on registering yourself and your children into the registration system.
(4) You will be able to pay by check, credit card or electronic check. If you are applying or a scholarship, please indicate that you are paying by check (Pay Offline: Check payment option). If applying for financial aid, please forward all necessary documents to Jessie Gore at jgoreopsdirector@lmvsc.org. She will adjust your balance and you will then be able to pay the reduced fee online.
