Team Registration (2 steps)

2) Players Register

• After registering the team, entering a roster and "inviting" players, parents receive an email with a link to register.  Be sure to check SPAM and junk mail for the email.  

• Player Registration now through January 31 - $165/player - if you are expected on a manager's roster, you will receive an emailed INVITE from the manager with a link to register.  Be sure to check SPAM and junk mail for the email.  If you are looking for a team, you can register under option "Player without a team" which will place the player on an Available Players list.  You can also go to the Discussion Board and place and ad for a Player Looking for a Team or look at ads for Teams Looking for Players.   CBSA will do it's best to find your player a team but cannot guarantee placement
