Things to know about your spring intramural registration:
- The Spring 2022 season is expected to start late March / early April, with the younger divisions (Kickball, Tball and Ponytails) to start later in April when the weather is warmer for the little ones. Specific start dates are TBD. The season generally ends early June.
- Divisions that draft teams (boys and girls 9U+) will occur in early March, while all other rosters formed by end of March.
- Team schedule will be finalized shortly after registration ends as we will learn how many teams there will be. Schedule will be communicated by the team coaches. Practices are determined by each teams' coaches.
- Do not delay to register. The sooner we know how many registered players there are for each division, the sooner we can determine the number of teams and create the schedule.
- Once teams have been finalized, team coach will reach out to welcome you, generally via email. This will occur around last week of March / early April (a week later for the younger divisions as they start later). Be sure to check Junk folder as your email provider may direct it there.
- Player uniforms for spring includes hat, shirt, pants and socks for the boys; shirt, pants and headband for the girls. Kickball receives a kickball shirt. Player uniforms are handed out by the team coaches.
- EMBSA gladly welcomes volunteers to help coach a team. If you are not sure your schedule is conducive to coaching a team, note that in your registration or speak to the respective League Director where they can pair you together with another coach to help run the team. Note that shortage of team coaches delays the start of the season and may cause overcrowding of team rosters.
