Frequently asked questions

You must be 19+ by the event start date, no exceptions. Some events may have more restrictive age ranges, so check the event details.

No. Most players register as individuals. We use skill-based team balancing to create fair, competitive teams before the season starts.

All events allow you to sign up as a full participant. You're placed on a team and play all games. Some events also allow you to sign up as a sub. Subs aren't placed on a team and don't pay a registration fee. They're available on a per-game basis to fill in when needed.

You can request to be placed with one other player. When registering, provide their name in the "note to organizer" field and the organizer will assign you together when possible.

All skill levels are welcome. During registration you'll rate your abilities, and our team balancing algorithm uses those ratings to create evenly matched teams. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, there's a spot for you.

Go to My Games in your account. Each upcoming game has attendance buttons: confirm, decline, or mark as maybe. Please confirm as early as possible so your team captain knows who's coming.

Decline the game in My Games as soon as you know. Your team captain can then request a sub to fill your spot.

When teams are created, they are assigned a unique color. Wear a shirt that closely matches your team color. If you already have one, no need to buy anything new. You can also grab official RecLeaguer gear at our team shop and browse by your team color.

Wear athletic clothing and shoes appropriate for the sport. Most equipment is provided by the organizer, but check the event details for specifics. Bring water and a good attitude.

If a game is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, the organizer will update the game with a note. You'll see cancelled games highlighted in your schedule.

Your upcoming games appear in My Games after teams are created. You can also view the full schedule on the event page. Add games to your calendar with the calendar sync feature.

Yes. You can sign up as a sub for as many events as you like. When a team needs a fill-in, you'll receive a notification and can accept or decline.

For baseball and softball events, you can pick a walk-up song from Spotify in your profile. At events that are set up for it, your song might play as you step up to bat. A fun touch when it works out.

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe. Payment is collected during registration.

We do not accept cash. All payments go through Stripe at registration so we can keep records and confirm spots automatically. If online payment is a problem, contact us and we will help.

Cost should never keep you off the field. We offer scholarships and reduced-rate spots for players who need them. Reach out and we will work something out.

If an event is cancelled due to low participation or venue availability, all paid participants will receive a full refund of their registration fees.

Partial refunds to all participants may be issued in the event of multiple game cancellations due to weather or circumstances outside of our control.
