7. How do I get my child on a team if I don't want to form a team myself?: We at Parks & Recreation do our best to try to find a spot for every child on a team, but we sometimes do not have enough coaches who volunteer to be able to place every child. We strongly encourage parents to try and form a team of their own with their child, neighborhood kids, classmates, or church members. It is parental volunteering that enables all leagues in Idaho Falls to run, whether through our department or other departments in the town.
