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! If you have 2โ€“4 friends, we'll slot you into a team together. 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 โ€” not blowouts.

๐Ÿ“… Season & Schedule

How long is a season?

Seasons typically run 8โ€“10 weeks with one game per week. Top teams advance to a championship playoff at the end of the regular season.

What happens if a game is cancelled due to weather?

Weather-cancelled games are rescheduled and made up at the end of the season. All other games remain on schedule โ€” rain or shine doesn't affect non-cancelled games.

Is there a playoff?

Yes! Qualifying teams at the end of the regular season advance to a championship playoff. Every goose gets a shot at glory.

What if I miss a game?

Life happens โ€” just give your team captain a heads-up as early as possible. Repeated absences without notice may affect your team's standing, but a missed game here and there is totally understood.

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.

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.

๐Ÿงพ Equipment

What equipment do I need to bring?

Very little! Silly Goose Sports provides all necessary equipment for every sport โ€” balls, nets, bases, and more. Just show up ready to play.

Do I need a softball glove?

Yes โ€” softball is the one exception. Players are expected to bring their own glove. Everything else for every sport is provided.

What should I wear?

Comfortable athletic clothing and appropriate footwear. Cleats are recommended for outdoor field sports like soccer, flag football, and softball.

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, subs are allowed. Reach out to your sport coordinator before game day to confirm the rules for your specific league.

What if my team doesn't have enough players?

Contact your sport coordinator as early as possible. We'll help find substitutes or arrange the situation appropriately so the game can go on.

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?

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?
