Recreation Commission
NEW Online Recreation System
The Village of Indian Hill Recreation Commission is proud to announce its new online recreation system, REC 1. REC 1 incorporates all of our needs which includes league management, volunteer management, activity management, and facility management into one efficient and easy to use platform that is both desktop and mobile device friendly. This means that all you need is one account sign in to register your family for upcoming sports, volunteer opportunities, receive and send communications, and so much more.
This new system will be our primary registration platform beginning with Fall 2023 registrations. To ensure that we have your families most up to date information, we will not be transferring over households to Rec 1. To help with the transition, we ask that you take this time to visit Rec 1 and create your new account (please only create one account per household). Information has been posted to the Village website on how to set up an account and how to register for programs. For specific question or help with setting up your account, please reach to the Recreation Program Manager.
Registrations for the 2023 Fall season open up at 8:00 am on Monday, June 12.
