Summer 2020 Registration Delayed
WAWM RCS summer planning has been underway since early January. Our original plan was to begin resident registration on Monday, April 6th. COVID-19 and the Governors "Safer at Home" order closing non-essential work has forced us to reassess and re-evaluate how to proceed with summer registration and programming.
We remain hopeful and optimistic that we will be back up and running programs this summer and want to make sure our planning continues and positions us to best meet the needs of our community and customers. The health and well-being of our participants, customers and staff remains our top priority.
Our administrative team has made the decision to conduct online registration beginning at 8am on Monday, April 13th for WA-WM residents only. At this time we are not able to accept registration via US mail, over the phone, or through the drop box.
Registration will be ONLINE ONLY.
Delaying the start of registration by one week will allow time and opportunity for residents to create an online account or ensure that their account is active and all information is complete. Non-resident online registration will open at 8am on Monday, May 4th.
Visit our registration tab on the top of our website for more important information and for helpful tips on planning ahead to make sure you are ready to register for your classes!

Thank You! And Welcome!
Thank you, Cory!
The WAWM RCS Department would like to take this opportunity to thank Cory Thompson for his many years of service to our community, district, programs and team. Cory started with our Department as a Recreation Programmer, where he worked with youth sports, supervised adult sports, coordinated an after school program, and ran summer playgrounds. He later moved into an administration role and has spent the last several years managing youth sports, aquatics, adaptive recreation, adult sports, community groups, rentals, and facilities/grounds. Cory has accepted a new position with the Waukesha School District. We wish Cory and his family all the best as he embarks on his next adventure.
Welcome Ben Versnik to the WAWM RCS Team!
Over the past year I spent my time working as a Program Coordinator for the Wauwatosa Recreation Department. I also spent 5 seasons as an assistant baseball coach at the high school and college levels along with 1 season as a high school assistant basketball coach. I am extremely excited to be joining the WAWM RCS team as the Program Manager for Adult Sports, Fine Arts and Facility Rentals. Being born and raised in West Allis, I grew up participating in WAWM recreation activities as well as working for the Recreation Department throughout my teen years. I look forward to giving back to a community that provided me with so many awesome opportunities and positive experiences throughout my lifetime.
