Frequently Asked Questions
I'm new to the area and don't know enough people for a team....can I still play? Sure. Just sign up as an individual and we'll place you on a sweet team of other individual sign-ups!
I have a couple of friends that want to play but not enough for a whole team, can we be placed on the same team? No problem! Just have your friends sign up as individuals and we'll get you all on the same team together. After you sign up as an individual simply send us an email letting us know which players you would like to be teamed with.
I signed up as an individual, when do I find out who I'm playing with? As soon as your team is finalized we will send out contact information for your team so you can coordinate your sweet team name or get a practice sesh in before the league begins. Typically this will be 1 week prior to the start of the league.
How competitive are your leagues? We offer different leagues to accomodate a range of skill levels. Whether you played competitively or simply for fun, we probably have a league for you. Honestly, many of our team's are made up of Average Joe Athletes that simply want to get out and have a great time.
How many people can I have on my team roster? Your team fee covers up to 20 people on your team roster.
How old do you have to be to play? All players must be at least 18 years of age and older.
Ok this sounds fun, count me in...When is the last day to sign up? Our leagues are first come first serve. This means that once the league is full we will no longer accomomodate additional sign ups. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee your spot until you have registered online. And since league spots usually fill up very quickly, we suggest you get yourself or your team registered as soon as possible if you would like to participate in this upcoming season.
What's the deal with team shirts?
We provide team shirts for the following sports: kickball, dodgeball, softball, and volleyball. Soccer and Flag Football teams must provide their own jerseys or matching colored team shirts. Individual sign-ups will receive a team shirt for any sport they register for. In order for your team to receive these awesome complimentary shirts you will need to send us your team roster form at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the league. If you send us a roster less than 2 weeks prior to your league start date, unfortunately we will not be able to provide your team with shirts for the season. So get your team registered early!
Can we re-use our team shirts from last season and receive a discount on the league fee?
For any league in which we provide team shirts as included in your registration fee (dodgeball, volleyball, kickball, and softball), you may choose to re-use your team shirts from a previous season and we will discount your team fee. Please contact us if your team would like to do so and we will let you know what your discounted team fee will be.
