How much will it cost to play in the winter season?

The cost for a team to play in the Winter Season will be $2,000 per team. We are requiring a $500 deposit to secure your team with all remaining funds due by December 7th. Team managers will be responsible for distributing the cost down to the players.  For example, if you have a team of 12 and split the cost evenly, it works out to be about $20/player/week. 

If I am unable to get enough players to play on my team, can I get a refund of any fees paid?

If you notify us before November 21, 2025, we will refund your fees in full. If you are struggling to get a full team together, please let us know as early as possible so we can help recruit players for your team.

Will players be required to register?

Yes, players will be required to complete a registration, but there will be no fee associated with the registration. Player registration is required for liability and tracking purposes.

How will cancellations happen due to weather?

All weather cancellations will be determined by the University of Minnesota. If the University keeps its facilities open, we will play. If there is a cancellation by the University, and we cannot secure a makeup date, we will work with team managers to provide a partial refund to the team after the season is over.

When will player registration open?

We will open player registration on November 14th. Registration will remain open throughout the season. All players must register before taking the field.

Will there be multiple divisions?

Possibly. We will assess if multiple divisions are feasible once we have an idea of the composition of the registered teams. If multiple divisions are not feasible, there will be procedures put in place to have better balance in certain games between teams. More details will be shared as the start of the season approaches.

When will team registration close?

We will close team registration no later than November 21st. Once we have 8 registered teams, we close registration and open a wait list.

Can I sign up as an individual player if I don’t have a team?

Yes! We will have a “free agent” option to select when you register. Since all fees are paid for by the team, you should talk to your team manager to understand what your financial contribution to the team will be.  

What is the pick-up player rule for the season?

Much like Fall Ball, rosters will be open and flexible. If you need players, you can recruit from other teams. The only requirement is that all players must be registered before they take the field.

Where will the games be played?

We will play all games at the University of Minnesota Sports Dome. The address is 600 25th Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414.

What time will the games be played?

The first 5 weeks of play will be held from Noon to 4pm on Sundays. Per University policy, they are only able to confirm field times through the January 18th weekend. We will have firmly committed times for the remaining 3 weeks after the first week of November.

What rules will we use?
