Non-resident Surcharge Fee

A non-resident surcharge fee of $40 per participant per sport is required in addition to the registration fee for participants who do not reside within North Hanover Township. The recreation sports program is a township subsidized program. Participants who do not reside within the township are allowed and encouraged to participate but must pay the non-resident surcharge.  

Late Fee

If you register after the registration closure date, you will be charged a late fee and your child will be put on a waiting list. Although registered, the child will only be able to participate if there is space available on a team.  You will be notified if you child can be placed on a team. If your child cannot be placed on a team, you will be refunded your fees (see information on the refund policy below). 

Uniform Deposit Fee

The uniform deposit fee is a $35 fee that each participant must pay when they first participate in the recreation sports program. For some sports, the township provides uniforms that need to be returned at the end of the season. If the participant does not return the uniform or returns it in an unusable condition (as determined by the Recreation Committee), the participant’s uniform deposit fee is used to replace the uniform. The participant will be required to pay the uniform deposit fee again the next time they participate. 

The uniform deposit fee ($35) can be requested back from the township when a participant either (1) moves out of the township, or (2) is too old to participate in the recreation sports program (completion of 12^th grade). The uniform fee reimbursement must be requested back within 2 months of the participant’s high school graduation. After this time the fee is considered a donation to the township recreation program. To request a uniform deposit fee refund, you can download a uniform deposit fee refund form.  Complete the form and return it to the NHT Recreation Committee at recreationoffice@northhanovertwp.com , mailing it, or by dropping it off at the township municipal building. 

Refund Policy

Registration Fee ($30), late fee ($25) and non-resident surcharge fees ($40) are non-refundable fees unless the participant cannot be placed on a team.
