LEAGUE REGISTRATION:  Teams are registered on a first-come, first-served basis - with current teams getting first priority.  The deposit fee must accompany the registration form.  A deposit will be refunded only if a team is not offered a position in the season requested and does not wish to remain on the waiting list for the next available season.

 

LEAGUE FEE:  The balance of the team fee is due at the first game of the season.  A $50 late charge will be imposed on teams paying their balance later than their second league game.  Teams not playing their balance by the third game will be dropped from the league.  There is a $20 fee to re-schedule a game.  There will be a $25 returned check fee.

 

WAIVER & RELEASE FORM:  No individual will be allowed to participate in any league game until a Waiver & Release of Liability form (Player Card Form) has all the necessary information and signatures properly completed.  Player Cards are $10 and valid from Oct 1-Sept 30. There will be a $10 replacement fee for lost cards.

 

TEMP CARDS:   All players must be registered with Indoor Goals to be eligible for a Temporary ID Card.  Players must present a picture ID to be verified with current player card information.  If a player can not be verified as registered, the player must complete a player card registration form and pay the $10.00 fee.
