Message to Parents
MEMBERSHIP CARD POLICY
Wakeman has a membership tracking system that requires all members to bring their membership cards every time
they enter the club. Members swipe their cards through a scanner when they come into the building and when they
leave the building. This system will allow staff to track attendance and to alert the staff as to who is in the Club. This
eliminates non-members from using the Club with the emphasis on security in our daily lives. It is very important for
parents to stress to their child the importance of presenting their card when entering the Club.
PARKING LOT
The safety of all our members, both inside and outside the club is of vital importance. As our membership increases
and our programs continue to grow, safety in the parking lot is an ongoing issue. We ask that you follow the one-way
signs once you pull into the parking lot. If you are parking we ask that you are cautious when pulling in and especially
when pulling out, and PLEASE refrain from using cell phones while driving on Club property. Also, state law prohibits
any use of the handicap spot without a valid handicap marker. This includes dropping your child off. Many times there
are programs ending when others begin and at times the parking lot does become congested. We ask all our drivers
to be aware for the safety of our members.
WEB SITE — WWW.WAKEMANCLUB.ORG

Wakeman makes great use of our website. Please check the website for open gym times, league schedules, an-
nouncements, program descriptions, registration dates and cancellations. There is also an opportunity for feedback
from our members through email.
SENIOR STAFF
Dedicated adults are needed to work part-time during week nights and weekends. Senior Staff are responsible for
supervising club members and programs, as well as assisting full-time staff with program set up, clean up and admin-
istrative tasks. If you are interested, please contact Geoff at 259-4805 or Geoff@wakemanclub.org.
Wakeman Commitment
A message from Clare Mahoney, Rich Lee, Maria Cimina, Geoff Baranger, and John Novak
Countless hours are put into the program planning process: organizing activities, scheduling gyms and field times,
recruiting referees, volunteer coaches and instructors. Before registering for any program, please be certain that your
child is prepared to attend classes, practices, games or clinics unless, of course, he or she is injured, ill or
academically ineligible. The Wakeman staff has made a commitment to provide each youngster with the best
possible Club experience. We ask that our members make the same commitment in return.

High School Membership (9th–12th grade) $115
Family Membership (3 or more children) $375 cap
Mini Membership (1st–2nd grade) $30

Wakeman Values
The following is a list of qualities that are important to leading a happy, fulfilling life.
We want our members to be good people. We want our members to be:
Honest
The most important value and you all know what it means.
But are you strong enough to live without lying?
The Wakeman Staff thinks you are.
Sensitive to the Feelings of Others

Wakeman is a place where everyone should feel comfortable and included.
If someone is not playing, ask them to join your game.
No one is good at everything.
Do not make anyone feel bad about themselves.
Wakeman wants its members to be strong and confident.
Willing to Help
Wakeman is proud of our members and their willingness to volunteer and donate to those less
fortunate. Let’s not lose that attitude with each other. If another Wakeman member needs help
consider it your duty to see to their needs.
Sportsmen and Sportswomen

When the other team wins by two or twenty do not pout or act mad. Celebrate the fact that you are
part of the game and run over to congratulate the winners. The same goes for you when you win a game.
Remember what it feels like to lose. Your opponents are feeling that way right now.
Trustworthy
If you say you are going to do something, make sure it gets done.
And if you are asked not to do something, don’t do it.
Patient
Relax and give things time. The staff at Wakeman is here to serve you.
If they are asking you to wait you can be sure it is for a good reason.
Willing to Try New Things

The only way you are going to learn is to try.
Respect
Of Yourself, Of Your Family, Of Your Club.

PROGRAM REFUND POLICY/CANCELLATIONS
We understand that there are instances where participants would be entitled to a refund of fees paid. No matter how
diligently one plans their family’s and children’s activities, situations may arise that require a change. However, as an
organization, we must set guidelines that allow us to plan for our seasonal needs such as ordering equipment,
supplies and assignment of officials. All of these activities have a cost associated with them. For these reasons we
have developed the following refund policy.
Full Refund
A full refund (less a $10 administrative charge) will be given if a participant attends no practices, class, games or
try-out sessions and as long as jerseys, t shirts or gear have not been ordered for your child. The Club must receive
notice of intent to withdraw ten (10) days before the first scheduled session. Please allow 30 days for processing
refund checks. *Membership is non-refundable and not transferable.
Partial or Pro-rated Club Credit

Between 0-3 sessions, practices, or classes attended, we allow a partial Club credit (less a $10 administrative charge).
The pro-rated Club credit will be based on participation, individual circumstances and whether or not jerseys, t shirts
or gear have been ordered for your child and is at the discretion of the staff. Club credits are good for one year from
date of issuance. *Membership is non-refundable and not transferable.
No Refund
If three practices, sessions, classes or one regular season game has elapsed, then no refund will be given. If a partici-
pant is dismissed at any time for disciplinary reasons then no refund will be given.
Summer Camp Refund Policy

A full refund (less the $50 deposit) will be issued if Wakeman receives in writing your intent to withdraw before the
final camp balances are due (May 18, 2018). No refunds or credits will be issued after this date unless it is an illness or
injury in which case a doctor’s note must be provided. The Club Unit Director must receive notice of intent to with-
draw by email. Please allow 30 days for processing refund checks. *Membership is non-refundable and not trans-
ferable.

Bus Transportation to Clubhouse
Ongoing Online Registration
Wakeman has begun Transportation to Wakeman’s Southport Clubhouse for “Open Gym”. Bus transportation is for
members in 3rd-8th grade only. “Open Gym” consists of two gyms, a gameroom, computer lab, turf field, outdoor
sport court and lounge space. There is also a homework room where children can participate in the Power Hour
homework program and receive help from Keystone volunteers. Open Gym is supervised, but not structured; allowing
members freedom to do what interests them. The Clubhouse is open daily from 3:00pm- 9:30pm.
A once-a-year $20 clerical fee is charged per day of week you register your child to ride the bus from school to Wake-
man's Southport Clubhouse. This fee is necessary to help Wakeman offset the substantial clerical costs incurred by
Club directors and administrative staff in registering, coordinating and monitoring members participants who utilize
bus transportation from schools. The once-a-year clerical fee is $20 for a child who signs up for bus to Club one day a
week, $40 for child to ride bus to Club two days weekly, $60 for three days weekly, $80 for four days weekly, $100 for
five days weekly.
To register for a bus from your child’s school, please use the following online registration directions:
n Visit our website at www.wakemanclub.org
n Click on the red “online registration” button in the upper right

(7) days of completing registration process.

Bus Transportation to Clubhouse
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child take the bus home any day of the week they want?
Children are only allowed to take the bus on the day of the week that they have been pre-registered through Wakeman.
If your child is not scheduled to take the bus to Wakeman, but a family emergency makes it necessary for them to take
the bus to Wakeman, call the club and speak with Geoff Baranger before 12:00pm at (203-259-4805). Transportation
will only be provided if our directors can properly communicate to the school and there is space is available on the bus.
What do I do if my child is sick and will not attend school?

When you notify school by phone to tell them that your child is sick, let them also know that your child will not take
the bus to Wakeman that day.
What do I do if my child is sick and will not attend school?

When you notify school by phone to tell them that your child is sick, let them also know that your child will not take
the bus to Wakeman that day.
What should I do if I cannot pick up my child until later than expected?

Although the Clubhouse is open until 9:30pm every day, one or both gyms often close daily from 5:15pm-8:00pm for
programs and the Computer Lab closes at 6:00pm daily. Children who often spend a long period of time at the club
may run out of creative ways to stay busy. Parents should have two alternative people who can pick up their child in
an emergency in case parents are running late. This is also important in case your child gets sick or hurt at the club-
house and needs to be picked up early. Keep the phone numbers of alternative rides in your cell phone and at work.
Can my child leave Wakeman without a parent?

Yes, Wakeman is a drop-in Clubhouse, meaning children can come and go as they please. Many children walk, ride
bikes, or get dropped off at the Club and some may also walk to local convenient stores. Parents should discuss their
own expectations with children to be sure they reach an understanding of family rules.
What do I do if my child is in school, but will not take bus to Wakeman?

If your child leaves school early due to illness or other reason, let the main office know that your child usually
attends Wakeman but will not attend that day.
If your child is in school at regular dismissal time but will not take bus to Wakeman, you must send a note with
your child in the morning to the school’s main office).
What happens on a half day of school?

There will not be a bus available to Wakeman on scheduled half days of school (such as conference days or the day
before Thanksgiving), or unscheduled half days (due to inclement weather or other unforeseen reason). Children will
be responsible for finding their own transportation home from school.
Is the Club open on snow days, days off from school and vacation weeks?
On snow days, Wakeman attempts to open the Clubhouse at 3:00pm. During severe weather, the Club may stay
closed for entire day. On scheduled days off from school and vacation weeks, Wakeman is usually open 11:00am-
9:00pm. As a member, there is no additional fee for your child to drop in on these day.
How do I contact Wakeman?

The Southport Clubhouse phone number is (203) 259-4805. Children can be reached at the Club, but the Club is a
very busy place with many children and programs taking place, so phones calls should be limited to emergencies.
Children may use the front desk phone to call their parents as needed.

Wakeman Boys & Girls Club is committed to providing high quality staff, facilities and programs for its members.
Wakeman receives income from a variety of sources including grants, special event fundraisers, annual charitable
appeal and program fees, but without these multiple sources of income, Wakeman's membership fee alone would

as lacrosse, field hockey, flag football and rugby take place. An adjacent SportCourt surface features two outdoor
basketball/tennis courts. The Smilow Burroughs Clubhouse offers a basketball court, a homework room, an arts
studio, a game room, a dance studio and a technology room. Outside there is a grass play space along with access
to the Cal Ripken multi-purpose field, which is located one-quarter of mile away.
Wakeman's facilities are open daily throughout the school year and on weekends and school holidays. The member-
ship fee entitles all members to use either Club's facilities on a daily basis. Bus transportation is provided from 14
Fairfield Schools to the Southport Clubhouse and 2 schools to the Smilow Burroughs Clubhouse daily. Membership
also provides access to over 100 fee-based programs, leagues and classes including basketball, lacrosse, other sports
programs, arts programs, Keystone Club, Torch Club, After School program at Smilow Burroughs and numerous other
top-quality programs. Wakeman also offers a variety of day camps in the summer.

pleting the financial aid application. All requests will be given careful consideration. Financial Aid requests must

high school. This allows adults to use the facility from 10am-2pm on days when school is in session from September
– June. Memberships must be paid in full the first time adult members choose to use the facility—no exceptions.

Fairfield Youth Lacrosse at Wakeman
1st‑4th Grade
Fairfield Youth Lacrosse (FYL), in coordination with Wakeman Boys and Girls Club, has determined that in order to
provide the Town of Fairfield a comprehensive, unified lacrosse experience; FYL will provide all youth programming
for the Town of Fairfield, grades 1-4 will be housed primarily at Wakeman’s Southport facility. FYL looks forward to
providing progressive, coordinated, comprehensive programming for all boys and girls from grades 1-8, and welcome
all those who’ve been playing lacrosse at Wakeman in recent years.
Evaluations for all players in grades 5-8 were held in December. Following US Lacrosse and CONNY (Connecticut New
York Youth Lacrosse) guidelines, play in grades 5-8 is age based. If you fall in this category, missed evaluations, and
are interested in playing, please visit www.fylacrosse.com for more information about joining a team. 5th-8th grade
programming will largely not be held at Wakeman.
Overall Programming
Each age/grade is separated by gender. Grades 1-4 are balanced teams to allow for competitive play. While your child
is assigned to a specific team, all grade level teams practice at the same time and may often run drills together and
rotate coaches on certain days. This helps to increase the comfort level of players with different coaches and allows
for specific skill building. Coaching follows the FYL curriculum and is consistent throughout the program. For insur-
ance purposes, every player is required to be a US Lacrosse member ($30.00). Your membership can be purchased
or renewed directly through US Lacrosse during the registration process. Uniforms are included with the grade 1-4
program. All registration is done through www.fylacrosse.com.
Descriptions for age and grade level programs follow (Register by January 30th, 2018):
Grade 1/7U $210

The first grade program is a fun clinic based format where players are taught the elementary skills of the game.

program meets one (1) time each weekend at Wakeman and culminates in a fun end of season jamboree.
Grade 2/8U $275

The second grade program is an advanced clinic based format where players work on and improve elementary skills

Alliance course) and have participated in FYL coaches training clinics. High school technical coaches assist with the

of high school and college coaches to enhance the technical aspects of the game. At this age there will generally be

ence in your own life! More than 130 teens and 10 adult chaperones chose to make a difference last year and over-
whelmingly felt the experience impacted their own life as well.
Teens frequently use their hours toward college applications, Fairfield Prep Christian Service, National Honor Society,
High School Key Club and other programs. Volunteer hours are tracked by Wakeman. Programs begin mid-Septem-
ber; volunteers may be accepted anytime as space is available. Volunteers must commit to a consistent day for a
minimum of one season of the school year (fall, winter, spring).
Updated details about various volunteer options are available at www.wakemanclub.org

a fun and safe environment for over 250 children in grades 3-8. Children travel throughout the 23,000 square foot

enjoy some Wakeman favorites like carpet bowling and ping pong. Other favorite programs include STEM Mentoring,
