Rosters are due by your first game, although you may add players to your rosters up to your third game. Your United States Indoor roster and game sheets must match exactly. Players added to your game sheet after the third game will be considered “illegal” players. It is the responsibility of the Coach/Captain to add players to the US Indoor roster. Adding a player to the “game sheet” does not make that player “legal”. Roster and Waiver must be completed in order to receive a 1st place t-shirt.

The Coach/Captain of a team playing illegal players will receive a one game suspension. (In special situations, the management may allow a team to add players after their third game, in which case the Captain must seek permission to add prior to game day).

Rosters are limited to 18 players. Apex Sports Center (ASC) management may deny a team and/or individual registration in a league.

Players must play in proper age group or they will be considered an illegal player. Teams playing illegal players will forfeit any games in which they play.
