Your registration fee includes ten (10) guaranteed games (and the opportunity for additional games through playoffs), referees, scorekeepers, a t-shirt, and social events throughout the season. The price also includes liability and accident insurance for players.

• Divisions: Please only register for the division that fits your playing history and skill level. The Board reserves the right to move players up and down based on player history and evaluations. IF the division that you intend to register for is full, make sure to sign up for the waitlist for that division. DO NOT register for a different division, duplicate registrations will be deleted. The Board reserves the right to request more information and/or deregister players as necessary.

• Absence Policy: If you plan to miss three or more weeks of the season, we strongly request that you do not register. Consider registering for a future season when you are able to commit to attend weekly!

• Ghosting Policy: If a player misses two weeks and neglects to contact their captain, they may be removed from the team without a refund (at the Board’s discretion).

• Refund Policy: The Board reserves the right to refuse a refund. Refunds and prorated refunds will only be given to players IF a replacement player is identified to replace them. After Week 2, the Board will NOT issue refunds. There will be a 2% fee, charged to the player, for each refund due to LeagueApps fees.

• Player Evaluations & Draft: The player evaluations will take place on Sunday, January 25th, from 12:00-2:00 PM. The draft will take place after player evaluations.

  • ALL new players are required to attend evaluations. No exceptions will be made. New players who do not attend evaluations will automatically be deregistered.

  • Returning players are required to attend if they would like to be considered for new divisions or if they have not played in the last two seasons (Fall 2025 and Spring 2025) Players who do not attend evaluations will automatically be deregistered.

  • An email with detailed information will be sent to all new players when registration ends.
