The Hackensack Recreation does not run the large programs in town. Soccer, Baseball, Football, Travel Basketball, and Wrestling all are run by a group of concerned supportive people. They all have their own board. The because of that the City and the Recreation feel that they are separate from the City of Hackensack.
Very funny because all the programs that the Rec. runs are total let downs and you have many complaints.
I feel that if that if the 5 power house sports mentioned above total the Recreation and the City, OK if we are not apart of the City then you run all the programs as many towns and cities do in the Nation. Then the City would be forced to hire at least 5 more personal to work in the Recreation and than they will see all the things that are involved with running each program. Just than maybe the City will get more involved and help better each program. Also then they may see the need to get more kids involved.
But the problem is that the Mayor and Council couldn't care less about the KIDS, Community or keeping the kids involved.
All the programs should ban together and go to the City Council meeting and Rec. Board meetings and force the City into giving support.
Here is a MAJOR PROBLEM The City is breaking the Law and parents need to fight this.
How can a parent sign their child's rights away?
This is what the City of Hackensack wants parents to do now. They have issued each program forms to be signed which state that if a child gets hurt due to injury neglect from players coaches or the kids they you cannot sue the City.
Also they have stated they have minimum insurance and that the parents are responsible
What Bull
So if a coach hits a kid you can t sue the City, or a kid gets hurt on this million dollar Soccer field you can t sue the City.
If a kid goes to make a tackle and breaks his leg you are stuck with the bill.
This is illegal and against the law. The City of Hackensack has stepped over the line now with this.
Parents need to fight this!
