​
Step One: Enrollment Process
​
All Sports and Classes—LEARNS Registration Forms
Enrollment will take place online at berkeleylearns.asapconnected.com
CLICK AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS on the LEFT side and scroll down to find your home school's LEARNS program for your student's rising grade for this coming year. MAKE SURE YOU CHECKOUT AND GET A CONFIRMATION EMAIL! (You will be prompted to create an account if you are a new family.)
You will be placed automatically on the "waitlist", but we are trying to confirm families asap with the staff we can secure.
Sports Forms
Forms & Registration
Students WILL NOT be allowed to tryout for any team without completion of the required medical documents. For the physical to be current, it must be signed, stamped by the physician, and dated after the last day of the previous school year.
The year-round sports schedule is available on the Sports page.
All of our student-athletes are required to have a current physical signed and stamped by their physician! No student-athlete will be allowed to tryout for any sport without having a current physical on file in the LEARNS Office (Room B1). Please make a copy of the completed Physical Packet for your records and turn it in all together, as the separate pieces tend to get lost. Any physicals without the necessary physician stamp will not be accepted. All forms MUST be completed before coming to registration.
There is a doctor students can go for their physical if their primary provider can not provide one in time. You can call ahead and get a same day appointment:
Dr. John Konstantin
2584 MacArthur Blvd.
Oakland, CA 94602
(510) 530-5400
$25 fee
*Please bring our med form for them to complete!

​
Step Two: Income Verification
​
There is a monthly fee to participate in the Berkeley LEARNS programs at King. Our sports teams are part of the Berkeley LEARNS program at King and are NOT a separate program.
Any family paying less than the full-fee rate MUST provide proof of income. Please provide a photocopy of your W-4 from last year or a photocopy of two recent pay stubs for each member of the household who is employed.
Step Three: Payment
There is a one-time $15 registration fee per family to enroll your student(s) in LEARNS. Please pay this registration fee online by credit card or submit the payment to the LEARNS office. Monthly fees can be automatically charged to your credit card or automatically deducted from your checking account on the first of each month. If you would prefer a monthly invoice, contact the LEARNS office.

Enrolled Student Information
Online Portal
You can access your online portal here: berkeleylearns.asapconnected.com/
After logging in, you can update your billing information, update personal info or emergency contacts, add or drop enrollment days, and make manual credit card payments.
Program Fees
Invoices and auto-charges will begin on September 1st, and will continue on the first of each month until June. If your student is a “Sports Only” student, you will be charged monthly at the 3-day rate for the duration of the season.
​
If there is ever a change in your income, or your student’s schedule, please notify so we can make adjustments to your fees. Please communicate about your family’s needs and let’s find solutions to keep your student here with us!
​
Sign-in/Out
In order to keep your student safe (and to keep our program running!), we need accurate attendance records. Please stress to your student the importance of signing-in to LEARNS at the outside amphitheater each day, and then signing-out when they leave. In an emergency, it is vital we know exactly who is present and who has already left campus for the day. Once students leave campus, they are not permitted to return to the LEARNS program.
​
Schedules
Every student’s schedule is different and every family has different needs. If your student is enrolled in an enrichment class or sport and will be absent, please contact or call 510-883-6511. Students who are not present for their classes or arrive late without a pass from a teacher, will get a phone call home. If your student will be permanently dropping a class, please notify us ASAP so we will not be expecting them.
Students participating in LEARNS should meet in the outside amphitheater immediately concluding their classes for the school day. Students are not permitted to leave campus and then return for LEARNS. Activities will be available for students to choose each day until enrichment classes begin in mid-September.
If you are picking up your student from LEARNS, come directly to the LEARNS Office in B1 and we will have your student meet you there.
Looking forward to a great year together!
Sports Enrollment Process
Berkeley LEARNS After School Sports Program
The Berkeley LEARNS Sports Program offers twelve different sports throughout the year. The majority of the teams are competitive, but there are also intramural teams for some of the sports as well. Intramural teams do not have a tryout process, but the competitive teams do. Our Intramural (IM) teams are used to promote wellness and allow students who do not compete on our competitive teams an opportunity to be active, learn the fundamentals of a sport, and ultimately have fun. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Fred Sims, Athletic Director at fredsims@berkeley.net or (510) 883-6511.
​
Tryouts & Parents Meeting
All tryout dates will be announced in the school bulletin, posted on e-tree, and will be posted on this website as well. We do our best to accommodate the numbers of those trying out, but sometimes the numbers need to be simplified so safety, instruction, and playing time are not compromised. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the intramural or competitive sports teams, please contact Fred Sims, Athletic Director at fredsims@berkeley.net or (510) 883-6511.
Please note and mark your calendars for the MANDATORY parent meeting dates for your respective sport. No student-athlete will be allowed to practice or compete in any games without a parent/guardian attending your sport’s parent meeting! Any conflicts with this, please contact me directly at fredsims@berkeley.net or (510) 883-6511.

Students WILL NOT be allowed to tryout for any team without completion of the required documents:
LEARNS Registration & Fees

There is a fee requirement to participate in a sport here at King! Students participating sport(s) only pay the monthly LEARNS fee at the 3-day rate for the duration of the sport.
