SIGNING AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR WITH A GROUP
CHAMPS SPORTS LEAGUES ARE ONE OF THE FEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU
CAN SIGN AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND BE PLACED ON A TEAM.
MOST PARKS AND REC WILL PUT YOU ON A WAIT LIST AND MOST LIKELY, YOU
WILL WAIT.
WE SALUTE YOU AS BEING GAME TO PLAY THE SPORT YOU LOVE, WHILE
MEETING NEW PEOPLE, GETTING EXERCISE AND COMPETING. SOME ARE
APPREHENSIVE AT FIRST, UNTIL THEY FIND THAT THEIR NEW TEAMMATES HAVE
THE SAME OBJECTIVES AS YOU.
WE HAVE A GREAT SUCCESS RATE FROM HAVING OUR HOUSE TEAMS
EVENTUALLY ENTERING OUR LEAGUES AS INDEPENDANT TEAMS.
ALOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED BY READING THIS:
IF I COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS (REGISTER AND PAY THE
LEAGUE FEE), AM I GUARANTEED A SPOT?
YES, AS LONG AS SIGNUPS ARE "OPEN", YOU ARE GUARANTEED A
SPOT. THESE IND SPOTS FILL QUICK AND ARE FIRST COME, FIRST
SERVE.
HOW DO I SIGNUP AND WHAT ARE MY PAYMENT OPTIONS?
GO TO THE SOFTBALL PAGE OF OUR SITE AND "PRESS TO REGISTER".
COMPLETE THE PROCESS BY FILLING OUT FORM, PRESS SUBMIT, THEN
PAY.
OPTIONS ARE:
PAY ON LINE
SEND IN CHECK OR MONEY ORDER
PAY IN PERSON BY APPOINTMENT AT THE SHORELINE HOME OFFICE
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FROM SIGNUP TO SEASON START?
AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS, WITHIN 24
HOURS YOU WILL BE SENT AN "INVITE" TO YOUR TEAM SITE, WHICH IS
STRICTLY FOR YOUR TEAM. THE TEAM SITE IS CALLED "TEAM COWBOY".
THIS IS NOT THE NAME OF YOUR TEAM, IT IS THE NAME OF THE
COMPANY THAT MAKES THESE SITES. IT ALLOWS FOR TEAM
ANNOUNCEMENTS, SCHEDULING, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY..IT ALLOWS
YOU TO RSVP
WILL I HAVE TO COMPETE FOR PLAYING TIME?
NO, THIS IS AN EQUAL PLAYING TIME LEAGUE AND WILL BE ENFORCED.
I'M GOING TO MISS SOME GAMES, IS THAT A PROBLEM?
NO. IN REC LEAGUES, PEOPLE MISS GAMES. EVERYWEEK WE NEED
SUBS FOR TEAMS AND IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO PLAY EXTRA GAMES,
LET US KNOW AND YOU WILL BE PRIORITY TO FILL IN FOR SOMEONE
ELSE. MANY SIGNED UP IN OUR LEAGUES HAVE PLAYED ALOT OF EXTRA
GAMES - A GREAT BENIFIT
SOME OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WANT TO PLAY..CAN WE BE ON THE
SAME TEAM?
WE LOVE IT WHEN FAMILY AND FRIENDS PLAY TOGETHER. BUT THEY
WOULD HAVE TO SIGN UP ON A TIMELY BASIS, BECAUSE ONCE YOUR
TEAM IS FORMED, WE CANNOT MOVE PEOPLE.
I KNOW IT'S COED, BUT I HAVE A BIG GROUP OF MALES THAT WANT TO
PLAY..CAN THAT WORK?
IT DEPENDS...IF YOU HAVE 4 MALES..MOST LIKELY YES...5 OR MORE
MALES WITHOUT FEMALE PLAYERS MAY BE TOUGH.
WILL THERE BE PRACTICES?
THE LEAGUE WILL HAVE WEEKEND PRACTICES ON 3/31, 4/1, AND 4/7.
OTHERWISE, IT'S UP TO YOUR TEAM. ONCE THE SEASON STARTS, THERE
ARE NO LEAGUE RUN PRACTICES AFTER THAT.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO THE GAME?
YOUR MITT, SHOES CONDUSIVE TO SOFTBALL...AND A GOOD ATTITUDE.
WHAT TIME SHOULD I GET TO A GAME?
IT WOULD HELP THE COACH ALOT IF YOU CAN GET THERE AT LEAST 15
MINUTES BEFORE YOUR GAME. SMART TO STRETCH OUT BEFORE YOUR
GAMES ALLOW FOR TRAFFIC AND WALKING FROM THE PARKING LOT.
HOW MANY DO YOU PUT ON A (HOUSE) TEAM?
14 MAX.....9 MALES AND 5 FEMALES. (13 WILL BE ALLOWED IN CERTAIN
CASES)
IS THERE COACHING OR ASSISTANT COACH OPPORTUNITIES?
YES...PLEASE INQUIRE TO LEAGUE OFFICE.
IF I JUST WANT TO PLAY, HOW CAN I HELP THE COACH TO MAKE HIS/HER
JOB EASIER?
1) RSVP AS EARLY IN THE WEEK AS POSSIBLE (EVERY WEEK)
2) GET TO YOUR GAME EARLY
3) HELP WITH THE SCOREBOOK
HOW OFTEN DO YOU ALL HAVE LEAGUES?
SEE WEBSITE......BUT WE PLAY ALL YEAR ROUND INCLUDING WINTER.
CAN I BRING MY FRIENDS, THAT ARE NOT SIGNED UP, TO SUB FOR A
GAME?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.....LIABILITY ISSUES.
I LIKE MY TEAM, BUT CAN I START A NEW TEAM NEXT SESSION?
YES....LET US KNOW AND WE CAN HELP YOU.
WHAT SEPARATES THIS LEAGUE FROM OTHERS?
1) WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY ARE JUST PLAYING FOR FUN...AND
ACTUALLY ARE!
2) WE'RE VERY HANDS ON AND ALWAYS LOOK TO IMPROVE. FROM A
LEAGUE PERSPECTIVE, IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU WILL COME BACK.
3) THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF OUR LEAGUE IS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER.
WE HAVE FAN AND PLAYER APPRECIATION BBQ'S, AT SOME OF THE
GAMES DURING THE SEASON AND PROMOTE OTHER SOCIAL EVENTS.
PLAY BALL!!!!!!!
