🏐 Team-Based Open Gym – Trial Format

I’m hoping by this date you’re either on a team or in the process of joining one! This open gym is a trial run for team-based sign-ups, which is a shift from our usual format where individual players register. Since it’s our first time trying this, I’m posting early and may make a few adjustments along the way.
If turnout and interest are strong, I plan to organize another team-based open gym on 12/23 using the same format. I’ll gauge interest and participation in the first week of December, and if it looks promising, I’ll move forward with scheduling that event.

🏐 Team Guidelines

• Each team must have at least 6 players (no max), including a minimum of 2 females (On the court)
• Teams should be somewhat balanced in skill level—no all-high or all-low level teams
• The goal is to create competitive and enjoyable matchups for everyone
• We’ll be capping the event at 6 teams, playing across 2 courts
• Each court will have 2 teams playing and 1 team refs.

🤝 Free Agents
If you’re not on a team, you’re welcome to sign up as a free agent. If fewer than 6 teams register, I’ll do my best to form a team from the free agent list.

✅ Waiver Requirement
All players must have signed the waiver prior to attending. If you already signed one, then you are good. Here is the link (sign here)

📋 Team Sign-Up Instructions
Only one player per team needs to register and answer the question, no need for all players to sign up.

This is a safe, fun, and inclusive space—please be respectful to others and help keep the gym clean. Balls will be provided and there is a water foutain but feel free to bring your own.
