Teams: There are established teams that have been playing in the league for a number of years. As spots open up new teams are accepted into the league. New players are always welcome. After you register you will receive a confirmation letter in the mail and it will ask you to email mvieira@toronto.ca to outline your playing experience. This will be taken to the “draft” meeting–teams that are looking for players will pick players based on their needs. We have been able to accommodate all new players that have registered prior to mid April. After the league has started it is harder to place new players on teams. Register early to avoid any issues.
