Since the SSL is a uniformed league, all sweatshirts/jackets must be worn under your uniform. The uniform must be in clear view in order to play (even zip ups that are just over the shoulders will not be permitted unless they are underneath the SSL uniform.
The SSL is a uniformed league, so all players must be in the current season’s shirt to participate. Without one, you must switch out jerseys with a teammate when you are on the field of play. You will be roster-checked to ensure you are on the team (for liability purposes).
Captains
Captains can choose to take care of the full team balance and manually collect money from their teammates, or only pay a deposit and have players pay their share of the team balance through TeamPayer.
NOTE: The card used for the deposit will NOT be charged again by Minneapolis SSL unless there is a remaining balance after T-Shirt Pickup.
Individuals
A credit card is needed to complete your registration. All individuals are subject to a $1.95 conveneince fee. NO REFUNDS are offered for any reason other than if we are unable to place you on a team.
Yes, just be sure to inform your teammates.
You can e-mail info@minneapolisssl.com to be added to the waitlist. On occasion, a team or individual will back-out or request transfer to another night.
You can play as many sports at once as you would like, provided you are not on two different teams in the same sport on the same night. However, you could play the same sport on two different nights (ex. Tuesday & Thursday kickball).
Yes if we have SSL uniforms in inventory. If so, you have up to the third week to add players. E-mail info@minneapolisssl.com with an add-on request. The additional player cost would still be due when the shirt is received, and that player must sign the team waiver before they will be allowed to play.
Yes, full teams are asked for their top three choices when signing up but there is no guarantee that a uniform request will be granted (priority for colors are based on a first come first serve basis).
Individuals are placed based on registration date (earlier sign ups are placed first), and those with co-ed teammate requests. If you are unable to sign up please email info@minneapolisssl.com and we can add you to the league waitlist.
If you are waitlisted and we are unable to complete the formation of an additional team after the deadline, you will be given the options to transfer to another sport with priority registration.
Usually we have enough room for everyone if you sign up on time. Since we are unable to determine the number of males & females to sign up for a particular sport until after registration ends, we cannot predict if everyone will be placed. If you are not placed initially then you will be put on a wait list.
You will receive an email 2-3 days before the posted happy hour date. You can also view your roster in League Lab.
Since we use a third party for online registrations, we are unable to process any refunds after payment has been made. If you are no longer able to play the sport, and inform us via e-mail of this (info@minneapolisssl.com) prior to the registration deadline, then you will be able to hold that credit for any future SSL event of equal value for the remainder of that calendar year. Once the registration deadline has passed, there are no credits. If you are unable to play after the registration deadline has passed (but before the season begins), you would need to find someone to take your place, and that player can compensate you for the spot and take your shirt.
From the minneapolisssl.com menu, go to a sports registration page and scroll down to the sport you would like to play. There is a registration link in each listed item that will take you to our partner site (League Lab) to start the registration and payment process.

Once you complete the registration process, you’ll be able to add players to your team and manually enter their name/email/shirt size.
