New to creating your own soccer team?  It's easy! Here’s how:

1. To register your team, visit www.baasl.org, and select “Register to Play” from the options in the top right corner. Enter your team name and submit the team fee to confirm your team’s spot.

2. To add players to your team, use the Dashboard feature to Send Invites to join your team. You will use each player’s e-mail address to send out the invitations. Please see VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS - SENDING INVITES for more information.

3. If you haven’t already, designate a team captain(s), pick a team name and team color, and notify the league of these selections. Teams may also add a team logo.

4. Ensure each player has read and accepted the BAASL waiver and completes their player profile information, including uploading a headshot. Photos must be close-up and well-lit with no hats or sunglasses. Facebook profile photos are not allowed. All photo uploads can be viewed via the LeagueApps Team Roster link.

5. If you need to recruit additional players, contact BAASL for help recruiting free agents to fill up open player slots.

6. Now your team is ready to go! Captains may use LeagueApps online features to message teammates via “Communication Boards.” LeagueApps also sends a weekly automated e-mail reminder to all players on the team roster with information about the time, location, and opponent for the upcoming game.

League Formats:

In 8v8 leagues, a maximum of 8 players, including the goalkeeper, are allowed on the field at one time. In Coed leagues, 3 of these 8 players must be female, (or two females and one male designated player*). To avoid a forfeit, at least 5 players (of which at least 1 must be a female) are required to play the game.  A team must play short one player if they have only one female player on game day.

In 5v5 leagues, a maximum of 5 players, including the goalkeeper, are allowed on the field at one time. In Coed leagues, 1 of these 5 players must be female. To avoid a forfeit, at least 3 players (of which at least 1 must be a female) are required to play the game. 

In an outdoor 11v11 game, a maximum of 11 players, including the goalkeeper, are allowed on the field at one time. In Coed leagues, 5 of these 11 players must be female (or four females and one male designated player*). To avoid a forfeit, at least 7 players, including a goalkeeper and at least one female, are required to play the game.

*A "Designated Player" (DP) is a male player 44 or older. The designated player rule is not to be interpreted, directly or indirectly, as an assessment of an individual's abilities or a means to discriminate against any particular player or group of players.  The purpose of the designated player rule is to create diversity and allow team managers flexibility in filling their team rosters and reducing the possibility of a team forfeit due to a lack of eligible players.
