How Old Do You Have To Be To Participate?
To participate in any sports league/class, you must be at least 18 years old.
What Are The Different Skill Levels?
SDBVL advertises its sports based on a number of skill levels. Play at whatever level is comfortable for you, but remember, it’s all for fun!! This is a general classification and may vary depending on the league.
How Do I Register?
The quickest + easiest is to register through our website using a credit card (Visa/MasterCard/AMEX/Discover). Simply find the league you are interested in and then click on register button.
What Are My Registration Options?
There are two registration options:
Prepaid Team – Team captains will pay a one time registration fee guaranteeing their spot in the league.
Free Agents – This option is for players who do not know other people in the league or want to be placed randomly onto a team. This registration option can be changed into a small group registration at any time.This registration option does not guarantee placement.
I Don't Know Anyone. How Can I Get On A Team?
SDBVL specializes in finding teams for individuals. Just sign up as Free Agent and we’ll work to find a spot for you either on an existing team or if we have enough individuals, we’ll make a new team. Many of our long time players started out in SDBVL as Free Agents placed on teams. As a Free Agent, we’ll contact you via email 3-4 days before the league starts with your team information and other details.
SDBVL places, to the best of its ability, individuals on a “first come, first serve” basis. We are not always able to place all individuals. Individuals will be be provided a refund if we are unable to place you on a team. In coed leagues, a guy has a MUCH better chance of finding a team if signing up in a Small Group with a female. Please see below for all registration types.
What Happens If I Am Not Placed On A Team?
We do our best to place everyone on a team. In the event that we are unable to place you, we will give you the options of transferring to another league, a SDBVL credit toward a future league or a full refund.
Is There A Sign Up Deadline?
Sign up deadlines are usually 14 days prior to the start date of a league. This may vary due to how quickly the league is filling. Please note that many leagues sell out well in advance so make sure to sign up early.
What Happens If I Get Injured?
Participants play with SDBVL at their own risk. Athletic endeavors can be inherently dangerous. SDBVL does not provide health insurance to any players and does not refund players’ fees if they are injured – nor are refunds given if you move, schedule changes, don’t like your team, etc…sorry! Players should know the risks and think twice about playing if they do not have health insurance coverage.
What If It Is Raining On The Day I Play?
Do not assume the games are cancelled if it is raining where you are. Call the SDBVL weather/emergency line at 619-379-5637 and listen to the vm message to see if your game is rained out. We try our best to get games in and may wait until closer to game time to cancel a game. Please remember, sometimes game cancellation is out of our control. If games are rained out, we will email the league and call/text team captains.
What Happens After I Register?
You will receive a confirmation email shortly after registering. About 3 days before the start of the league, you will receive a League Information + Schedule email.
If you have any questions in the meantime, you can call (619) 379-5637 or email our League Director.
What Are The Team Captain's Responsibilities?
Team captains should make sure that they have enough players to field a team each week by emailing the team and taking “roll call.”
Should there be any questions or concerns over the course of the league, it is the team captain’s responsibility to contact SDBVL.
If I Signed Up As A Free Agent, Am I Guaranteed To Get On A Team?
No. But we will do our very best and if we can’t, we will issue you a full refund.
Due to the large number of males that sign up, free agent females and small groups with females in them have a better chance of getting placed on a team.
How Long Do We Play For?
Most of our leagues run between 45 minutes to one hour. We list a window of time that each league runs for, and you will within that time frame. Your game times will rotate each week throughout the season. Consult our office for league specifics.
