Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about playing with Silly Goose Sports. If you don't find your answer here, reach out โ€” we're happy to help.

๐Ÿ… Getting Started

Can I join without a team?

Absolutely. We place solo players on existing teams based on your sport and availability. You'll be welcomed like you've always been part of the flock.

Can I join with a small group?

Yes! Each individual will need to register. Just note your group during registration and we'll keep you together.

Can I register as a full team?

Yes. Full teams register together and are placed in the appropriate division. Make sure everyone signs up under the same team name so we keep you grouped.

How are teams balanced?

We review skill levels, experience, and group requests at registration and build balanced rosters. Our goal is competitive, fun games so everyone can have fun!

๐Ÿ“… Season & Schedule

How long is a season?

Each sport and season will have different lengths due to various factors. We will communicate this at the start of each season. If you are unsure, please ask!

What happens if a game is cancelled due to weather?

Weather-cancelled games are rescheduled and made up at the end of the season. If for some reason games are unable to be reschedules we will give partial credits that can be applied to future registrations.

Is there a playoff?

Yes! We strive to create an environment to test out the skills we develop during the season. Playoff structure will vary based on sport and team sizes. We strive to ensure everyone gets a chance to participate in the playoffs.

What if I miss a game?

There are no penalty's for missing games. For team sports, please communicate to your team as early as possible. For individual sports, please communicate to the league so we can ensure substitues are notified and can take your spot.

Where do games take place?

Game locations vary by sport and season. Your confirmed venue will be included in your welcome email and visible on the Game Calendar at sillygoosesports.com/game-calendar.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Cost & Registration

How much does it cost?

Pricing varies by sport and season. Visit the Registration page for current rates before signing up.

What's included in the fee?

Your registration covers league scheduling, equipment (see Equipment section), access to all season events, and the full Silly Goose experience. You will also be able to sign up to our sub list and play extra games for free!

What's the refund policy?

Refunds are available up to 7 days before the season starts. After that, we can apply a credit toward a future season.

What payment methods are accepted?

We accept all major credit cards and Venmo. Payment details are on the registration form. Full payment is required to secure your spot.

๐Ÿ’ช Fitness & Injury

Do I need to be in shape to play?

Not at all. Our leagues are recreational and fun-focused. Play at your own pace, know your limits, and don't be afraid to take it easy when you need to.

What about the risk of injury?

As with any physical activity, recreational sports carry a potential for injury. We strongly encourage proper warm-ups, appropriate footwear, and playing responsibly. All players must sign a liability waiver at registration.

Do I need experience in the sport?

No experience needed. Our leagues welcome everyone from first-timers to seasoned players. We just ask that everyone plays in good spirit. As our leagues grow we plan on hosting coaching sessions for beginners to learn the basics as well as practice sessions so players can develop their skills!

๐Ÿงพ Equipment

What equipment do I need to bring?

Check your league page which will specify which equipment is needed by you.

What should I wear?

Comfortable athletic clothing and appropriate footwear. Cleats are recommended for outdoor field sports like soccer, flag football, and softball. Sliding in shorts is not recommended and can lead to injury.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Team Size & Substitutes

How many players do I need to field a team?

Team size varies by sport. Check the individual sport page for the minimum player requirements specific to your league.

Can I use substitutes?

Yes! Players will sign up in advance to be placed on a sub list. The sub list will be notified when a spot opens up. Sub requests go out as early as possible so there's enough time to respond. There's no fee to take a request and no penalty for declining - we'll never hold a pass against you. We also do our best to match sub requests by skill level.

What if my team doesn't have enough players?

Contact your sport coordinator as early as possible. We'll reach out to players on the sub list to find a fill-in of comparable skill level. The sooner we know, the better the chance we have of getting your game covered. If there are not enough players to field a team then ultimately a forfeit is required. This is the absolute last resort.

How do I sign up for the sub list?

We are still working out the kinks with this. We plan on having a group chat for each league as well as a dedicated web app that will allow this to work seamlessly.

๐ŸฆŠ Age & Gender

What's the minimum age to play?

Players must be 18 or older to participate in any Silly Goose Sports league.

Are leagues co-ed?

Yes! All Silly Goose Sports leagues are co-ed and welcoming to everyone. We're built to be a space where all feel comfortable.

Is there a gender ratio requirement?

Requirements vary by sport. Check the sport page or reach out to us for specifics on your league.

๐Ÿป After the Game

Is there a bar or social event after games?

We strongly encourage it! Many teams head out together after games. Silly Goose Sports is as much about community as it is competition. Silly Goose will organize outings throughout the season as well as during the offseason. We are building a community- not just a rec league!

Do you organize team social events?

We host seasonal events and encourage team bonding throughout the season. Follow us on Instagram @sillygoosesports for updates on events and meetups.
