TO REGISTER A TEAM :
YOU MUST
E-mail us at: info@bigcityvolleyball.com, stating your team’s intention to register. 
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP OR YOU RUN THE RISK OF YOUR TEAM BEING LEFT OUT!

Next, whether yours is a new or returning team, you will need to download and fill out a team entry (roster) form, which you will then fax over to us. A $250 non-refundable deposit is required when you register your team (just fill in the credit card section of the form). Captains can pay the balance of the $1275 registration fee ($1025) with either individual checks from teammates, or one check (or charge) for $1025. Big City sells out every season, and only teams that have paid their deposits are guaranteed a spot in the coming season. Additionally, teams must be paid in full before their first match.

Note: If your team is a company-sponsored team, make sure you download the “Company Team Roster” form, which you must complete and return, instead of the standard roster form. (Company-sponsored teams are not required to leave a deposit, but an authorizing company agent must sign off on the form.)

The league fee includes all gym rental costs, professional refs, prizes, 10 of our famous Big City T-shirts, and more! New Teams, once we receive your roster and fee, we’ll call you to arrange a pre-season team Ranking Scrimmage to determine your team’s level of play. You can schedule your Ranking Scrimmage for Monday, July 8th. The time spots available are generally 7:00, 8:00 & 9:00 and are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Is your team a few players short? Feel free to come “shopping” for free agents at one of our Open Scrimmages, where individual players come to get on teams.

NIGHT-OF-THE-WEEK CHOICES:
On the roster form, there is a place to indicate which nights are best for your team, Mon-Thurs, in order of preference. Your team will be assigned a regular night of play based on this info. (If someone is playing on two different teams in Big City, please note this on the roster form, so we can try and schedule the teams for different nights.) Please take the time to read the night-of-the-week info very carefully—if you put down a wrong night choice, it could result in your team not getting into the league, as well as forfeiting your $250 deposit.

Important: Every player must fill out an injury waiver form. This form will be provided to you by the League—or better yet, click here to download one and have them filled out in advance, saving time at your Ranking Scrimmage. No player may take part in a Big City game unless he or she has handed in a completed waiver form.

GENERAL INFO:
Big City games are played in top quality Manhattan gyms (mostly on Manhattan’s upper east / upper west sides & Greenwich Village). By the end of the season, each team will have played in all of our beautiful facilities. All are easily accessible by subway, bus, or helicopter. Your team will play the same night each week (either Mon, Tues, Wed, or Thurs), making it very easy on your schedule! Start times vary week to week, but typically are 6:30, 7:45 & 9:00. Each night of play consists of three 15-point games against an opponent. You will be placed in one of seven different co-ed skill levels, guaranteeing you exciting matches each week!

Please note: Co-ed rules require at least one woman on the court at all times, but never more than four men. A full set of rules—which closely follow USAV rules—is posted on our web site. We encourage all new players to read these rules! Also, please note that each team must bring a quality volleyball to every match.

And lastly, please be aware that children under 12 are not permitted in any of our gyms (due to insurance regulations).
