FRg Rec Council Gift Certificate Form
Registration for all Rec Council programs is now online - click here to register. 

As an organization, the Fox River Grove Recreation Council (FRGRC) has one overriding goal:  to provide the young people of our community the opportunity to experience the benefits and enjoyment of participating in organized athletics.  The Rec Council is committed to providing our youth an opportunity to develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually through participation in sporting activities.

Participation in sports helps to develop lifetime skills.  Specifically, the elements of self-control, discipline, and commitment are developed and practiced.  Participants are encouraged to make the right decisions and choices in sports as well as the right decisions and choices in life.

The FRGRC is composed entirely of volunteer members, and is a qualified 501c3.
