Individual Registrants (Free Agents)
All individual registrants should register for the “Waitlist”.
In the event there are enough “Free Agents” registered,
a “Free Agent” team may be created. Additionally,
registrants will be added to teams who fail to meet
minimum roster requirements prior to the captain’s
meetings. Once added to a roster, “Free Agents” will
need to complete registration at the community center
by paying the registration fee. Once all teams have met
minimum roster requirements, all other “Free Agents” will
