Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)❓




1. How do I sign up and prepare to play?

Complete the online player registration form as a free agent. You’ll be contacted via email with your team assignment and schedule 1 week before your season starts.

Players are expected to arrive at least 40 minutes before their game time and head over to the couch sitting area to stretch, put on pinnies and equipment, stay hydrated, and connect with their teammates through in-game camaraderie or group chats. The official will open the net gate and usher you onto the court when ready for game time.

Once your game is finished please exit the arena through the front entrance, place your pinnie in the blue bucket and retrieve any belongings left in the facility. The league is not responsible for lost items.
