Team Description

What is your team's primary color*

What is your team's secondary color*

Please choose a color that contrasts with your primary color. Home teams wear their secondary color in case of a color conflict, but please bring your alternate color to ALL games.

What is your team's gender makeup?*

How skilled and competitive is your team?*

Please accurately describe your team.

Since 8 v 8 is a new development for us, divisions are still in development. While every team may be in the same division as it develops, we will try to match up teams of like skill as much as possible

Level of Competition desired | Skill | rough RATS division correspondence

Highly Competitive | Skilled players, usually some college experience | D1

Competitive | Many skilled players | D2 D2a

Moderately Competitive | Moderate skill level across team | D2 D2b

Mildly Competitive | Mixed skills team with some skilled players | low D2, high D3

Recreational/Play mostly for fun | Overall low level of skill | D3

No D1 available

We do not have D1 available for 8 v 8. With enough interest we'll offer a division in the future.

We will adjust our play to the level of competition

We will destroy teams

Over-30 Team?*

Currently all divisions are open, but with enough interest we will create an Over 30 division.

My team is ELGIBLE and would like to play in an O-30 Division

My team is NOT ELGIBLE to play in an O-30 Division

Day of Play - Women's - Spring/Fall*

Off day of play (optional)

Since 8v8 is more limited in field choice, there may be times where our 8v8 field supply is low on one day but in excess other days, in the same week. Please indicate if your team could play 1 or 2 off days games and which days your team could play. If we need to schedule you an off day game we will reach out before hand. Choosing off days helps the schedulers know their variables and does not mean you will have an off day game. Choose all that apply.

All late games?*

If you need all your games scheduled after 8pm, please indicate that below and we will do our best to accommodate.
