I'm new to this area and I don't know enough people to put together a team but I wanna play, what should I do? No problem. Sign up as an individual and RSL will place you on a team with other individual sign-ups in your skill level. We compile the teams and then notify you about who your other teammates are and when you'll be playing. Many of our past individual teams stick together season after season, so it's often a good way to meet some new friends. What if I have a partial team but am short players? Go ahead and submit what you have and let us know you need some players. We'll usually have a list of individuals looking to get on a team and we'll fill out your team for you What happens if I am not placed on a team? In the rare event we do not have room to place you on a team, the deposit required for individuals will be refunded to you by the second week of the season. Until that time, we'll keep your name on a list and if a spot opens up we will contact you. What sports do you offer? Sports4Adults offers leagues in flag football, kickball, basketball, golf, soccer, volleyball and softball. We offer single sex and coed sports, depending on the league. We are always looking for new sports and leagues that would be popular among our members, so if you have any ideas...let us know! What is the difference in advertised skill levels? Regional Sports advertises its leagues based on a number of skill levels. Play at whatever level is comfortable for you, but remember, it's all for fun!! This is a general classification and may vary depending on the league. REC: just for fun, little or no league experience, less serious players. INTER: athletic and/or has previous league experience, moderately competitive. COMP: very experienced, skilled players. more serious players and teams. OPEN: only one division offered, mixture of players and skill levels. What do I need to do if I am captain of a team? Being a captain of a team entails a number of responsibilities. Basically, a captain acts as a representative for their team on the field and with the league office. You can see a list of responsibilities online here. What if it is raining on the day I play? Do not assume the games are cancelled if it is raining where you are. Call the Sports4Adults rainout number at 704-543-2297 to see if your game is rained out. We try our best to get games in and may wait until closer to game time to cancel a game. And please remember, sometimes game cancellation is out of our control. We use a number of city fields where the city will close the field due to the weather, even though you may think it is playable. Check out more weather information here. What happens if I get injured? Participants play with Regional Sports League at their own risk. Athletic endeavors can be inherently dangerous. Regional Sports does not provide health insurance to any players and does not refund players' fees if they are injured. Players should know the risks and think twice about playing if they do not have health insurance coverage. Each participant will be required to sign an "Amateur Athletic Waiver and Release of Liability" before playing in their first game. Does the Sports League have an age limit? Yes, the league age limit for team sports/activities is 21. |
Here are some of the most common in the past but won't need to worry about with RSL: Lame League Move #1 - No trained Staff – Forget about not having a well trained staff on the field for your game, lots of leagues go further and make you provide players on your team to hang around and ref or ump once your game is over. No worries here – you will never need to assign players to ref other games – we figure you came to us to play, not to learn how to officiate. Lame League Move #2 - Cheap rates, lots of add-ons – Ever had to buy your own softballs, bring your own flags just so you could play in it? How about spending time calling in your scores to an answering machine? Not going to happen - we figure you should spend your time on the field, not buying equipment or making phone calls. Lame League Move #3 Rules - Of course, all sports have rules, however; some of the rules that are present in today's leagues are unnecessary or useless for the game. After each season, rules will be reviewed for effectiveness. Players will be given the opportunity to give their input and vote on rules which should be modified, included or excluded from the game in preparation for the next season. Lame League Move #4 - Captains' Meetings and Maitre D’s – The only meeting you’ll need to attend for playing in our league is when you meet up with your team to play or for your team cook-outs. There are no captains’ meetings or rules meetings. In addition, you don’t have to be a descendant of Brett Favre to get into the league. RSL leagues are first come first serve every season. Even if you’ve never played with us before you still have a shot to get into a league – ‘this ain’t no country club.’ Lame League Move #5 - The ‘never ending [league] story’ – Ever bowled in a 33 week bowling league? Ever played in a Softball league that seemed to last longer then the MLB season? We know that you have other things to do and you want to go out of town and have a life, even if you like sports. Most of our seasons are fairly short (7 to 9 weeks) so you can play some games and not have to block off your schedule for the next 6 months. Lame League Move #6 - “Individuals need not apply” – Just because you don’t know 12 other people doesn’t mean you shouldn’t play in a league – RSL welcomes all players, and small groups of friends. It may be a bit more work to find you a team, but that’s what we are here for. You might even find that we have gotten pretty good at creating new teams of individuals with similar skill levels and backgrounds.
