Online Recreation Platform
The IHRC uses REC1 for our registration and online management platform. REC1 incorporates 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 new system is now our primary registration platform. To ensure that we have your families most up to date information, we did not transfer over households to REC1. We ask that you click the “Access REC1” button to visit the REC1 website and create your new account (please only create one account per household).
