For both men and women, the first thing you need to do is Join the Dugout by creating a Player account and completing the player profile. We just collect some basic information about you along with what positions you play and what your playing experience is. this is 100% free. 1. Once your information is in our player pool, all the team managers from our league will have access to your information and you could get invited to join a team or attend a tryout. If a Team Manager wants to connect with you, they will send you an invitation to connect, which you will see within the Dugout. Once you accept the invitation to connect, you will then be able to directly message the team manager and go from there. 2. The other way you can get onto a team is to wait for an invitation from the league to join one of the expansion teams for the upcoming season. These emails typically go out in early March for the Summer season and in mid July for the Fall/Winter season. All you have to do is follow the directions on the email to get placed onto a team...it's really that easy. No tryouts, no workout days...just register and pay the league fees and you are guaranteed to be placed onto a team. We also offer a Premium Player Profile for a one-time fee of $20 that places your profile at the top of the feed and gives you priority exposure to Team Managers. The Premium Player Profile also lets you upload up to 10 photos and link to 5 videos to make your player profile stand out. We typically get 400+ new players signing up every year, so having a Premium Profile can help get you noticed faster.
