HAT LEAGUES

Hat leagues are a fun way to play and socialize with players from all skill levels!

How it Works

In a hat league, all players join individually rather than as a team. SportsLink will form teams by randomly taking the names of the participants from a hat. Once drafted, players stay with that team over the course of a season.

OPTIONAL BUTTON

Step 1: Choose a Sport

Click "Filter By Sport" below and choose the league that you are interested in joining.

Currently, we offer hat leagues for soccer and ultimate frisbee.

Step 2: Register

Use the "Register for the Hat League" button to sign up. During the checkout process, you'll be prompted to indicate your gender, skill level, position (if applicable), and pay a league fee.

Step 3: Get Drafted

Typically, we will draft teams a week before the league begins. In some cases, we will offer a draft party as an opportunity to meet the other players on your team!

Once drafted, our team will send more information with your game schedule, teammates, etc. You will remain on your team for the duration of the season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hat League?

In a hat league, all players join individually rather than as a team. Teams are formed by randomly taking the names of the participants from a hat. Once drafted, players stay with that team over the course of a season.

I signed up for a hat league, now what?

Our staff will form teams based on the amount of sign ups received. Typically, we will draft these 1 week before the season begin.

After signing up as an individual, you can expect to be contacted by one of our staff as we approach the season.

Upon forming team, we will ask one player to step up as the Team Captain. Team Captains make sure that your team will have enough players each week and will help find subs if you don’t have enough people.

_________________

Please be aware that your registration DOES NOT GUARANTEE that we will be able to place you on a team. Teams are formed based on player and league availability. In the event we cannot place you on a team, we will provide a full refund.

Does it cost to play in a hat league?

Individuals can sign up to play in one of our hat leagues for $75.

The $75 will cover the league fee and give the individual a 90 day player's card, which is required by all players in our leagues. Each free agent will also receive a team shirt and equipment for the season.

If the player already has an annual player's card, we will add 90 days to the expiration of that card.

Do I need a Player's Card to play in a hat league?

The $75 fee will provide each individual with a 90 day player's card, which is required by all players in our leagues.

If the player already has an annual player's card, we will add 90 days to the expiration of that card.

What else do I need to know?

Communication with your teammates is key. Once placed on a team, be sure to let your teammates know if you cannot make a game in case they need to find a sub or we need to help with subs. Players can communicate through their DaySmart accounts with other teammates, but we highly recommend exchanging phone numbers and creating a group text message between teammates.

Team shirts are provided for SportsLink players that are placed on a hat team.

Please always communicate with our staff to let us know about your experience or if there are ever any issues. We want to help you, and others, have a great time at the fields!
