What are the different leagues?
GVSA has a variety of leagues for men, women, and coed.
The Men's Leagues have three different Divisions. Men's Upper (C/D) is for experience, competitive teams who have been together for many years. This is the most competative leaguge. Men's Middle (E1) is for teams who are competitive and have experience. Men's Lower (E2) is for new teams or teams with little to no experience. Often these teams are focused more on the fun than the competitioin. There is also a Masters +40 league, which requires all of the players to be 40 years of age.
The co-ed league has three divisions. Coed Upper (E1) is for experience, competitive teams who have been together for many years. This is the most competative leaguge. Coed Middle (E1) is for teams who are competitive and have experience. Coed Lower (E3) is for new teams or teams with little to no experience. Often these teams are focused more on the fun than the competitioin. We encourage new teams to discuss what type of players they have with one of the Player Reps before signing up for a division.
Finally, there is a Women's League, there are is a C division and a D division. The teams from both divisions play each other during the season.
What are the Fees?
There is a single fee for each team consisting of $1315 for Men's, $1,020.00 for Coed, and $915 for Women. Fee's are due prior to the season start date. Any team who has not paid, will not play until fee's are paid!

What type of uniforms are required?
It is requested that each player on the team have a shirt with a number on the back. These can be as simple as a plain t-shirt with sponsor names and a number on the back. This helps the score keeper keep track of players.
What should the team name be?
Most teams use the sponsor as the team names. For example "Karl's Ice Cream". Or come up with your own name! Note: team names are subject to approval from GVSA (offensive language or things like that)
