Team formation
Since the purpose of the league is to encourage fun rather than competition, teams will be made randomly based on skill level and position. During registration participants will have the opportunity to request to be put on a team with one other person. The other person must reciprocate the request in order for the two players to be placed on the same team. Teams will have anywhere between 16 and 25 players, depending on the number of registrations received. Placement on a team will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Anyone who is not placed on a team will be placed on a waiting list.

Number of games
The number of games will depend on the number of participants and teams.

Required

• Shin guards - On the field all players are required to wear shin guards.
• ALL jewelry MUST be removed prior to going on the field. Any piercings that do not come off MUST be taped.
• No METAL cleats!
• If you wear a brace, e.g. a knee brace, all metal components must be covered to prevent injury to others.
• In an effort to keep league building fees down, no uniforms will be provided this season. Please bring a white/light color shirt and a dark/black color shirt to every game. It will be decided at game time which color shirt will be worn by each team.

Recommendation

• Mouth guard
• Soccer cleats (no metal studs) or turf shoes - Regular running shoes may be worn although the fields can become slick, especially when wet.
