Happy 150^th Birthday Eagan!

EAA is excited to help our community mark its 150^th year during the year-long Sesquicentennial celebration.  Go to www.eagan150.com for the latest information and events.

In an effort to reduce costs and streamline our organization, EAA will no longer be mailing out our seasonal newsletters.  The January 2010 newsletter will be the last time we mail out this document.  To keep informed of our programs and registration information, our newsletter will be posted online at www.eaasports.org.  Go to EAA news on our home page to find the latest newsletter link. 

We will continue to e-mail an electronic copy of our newsletter to all registered participants.  You will receive your newsletter e-mail at the beginning of each registration session. 

Online registration and payment by credit card for our spring and summer sports programs will be available in late January.  Please see our newsletter for program details and registration deadlines.  (Click on the more information link below.)

We will also be offering in-person registration at Dakota Hills Middle School on Tuesday, January 26 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.  This is an opportunity to register in-person and pay by cash or check.  No credit cards are accepted at the in-person event.  To pay by credit card, you must pay online.  No sport directors will be available at this event.  ONLY the EAA cashiers will be present.

When we adults remember our own youth we often marvel at the breadth and depth of youth sporting opportunities available today.  As a society we have done a remarkable job of providing access and activities for our children. This opportunity to participate has also brought some less desirable “opportunities”. We have all either heard or witnessed youth sports horror stories. As our association president has clearly stated, this association’s mission is to provide sporting activities for our youth.  Our mission is to provide structured play for the recreational amusement of our children where they can learn some of life’s lessons gently and in a positive environment.  It’s not about us, it’s about kids. To this end, as reinforcement, Eagan Athletic Association has developed a code of conduct for parents, participants, and spectators. This is a simple and straightforward set of do’s and don’ts that most need no reminding of.  However, because public perception is important, the association has decided to require this code as a pledge and guideline. The code is meant as a baseline document and may be supplemented by more elaborate rules in some sports programs at the discretion of their boards of directors. The code is available at the more information link below and should be printed, signed, and presented to the coaches along with the health forms.
