TEAM ELIGIBILITY
WHAT YOUR TEAM NEEDS TO PARTICIPATE. Built around flexibility, affordability and responsible communication.
01 CLUB CONTACT
Coordinate dates, ensure games are completed within their week, send confirmed details to the Commissioner, communicate reliably, and submit home-game results. All Teams Must Submit their Game Schedule by the 1st of Each Month and submit game results after every game.
02 HOME GAME FACILITY
Each team hosts 6 regular-season home games. Double gyms are preferred; a suitable single gym may be used by agreement. Teams may use practice gym time or book a separate gym. NEED A GYM? League-assisted bookings: Facility Rental Cost (With League Facility Partners) + $25 Commissioner Fee, paid only by the home team.
03 HOME GAME SETUP
Provide adequate benches for both teams (Home & Away), a chair for each Head Coach, a scoreboard table with 3 chairs, a functional scoreboard, and appropriate spectator seating. Home Teams must also have adequate seating for parents and families to watch games (Bleachers or Benches).
