Is There Still Room For Summer Sports ?

With start dates for summer leagues quickly approaching, sports are filling fast. However, if you act quickly, you may still be able to jump into a league with a full team or just by yourself.

If you are interested in a particular league, check out the updated situation on that sports league page. There, you'll see if the league is OPEN for registration, not available as a league (NA) or Sold Out. If a deadline has passed, you can sometimes still sign up for a sport pending availability.

The biggest recommendation to register is not to wait. If you're not sure of league availability, don't hold off until you know you'll have a space. Instead, send in your registration and include any options (flexibility is always rewarded).

We will not process any payment unless you get a space in a league confirmed. If we don't have space available, we'll contact you and let you know of any options. On the flip side, we won't consider any verbal requests to sign up for any sport.

Now that you have all the details, don't delay, sign up today !!

 



I Signed Up, Now What ??

The most common question that we get at MSC is after a person or a team signs up for the first time. The free-agent or team captain then wonders what happens next ?

Sometimes, it can be days or even a couple weeks after the registration is received for a team or player, but before they get their initial information on a particular league.

If there is a problem with the registration, or possibly a different option available, then we contact the teams and check to make sure if they can accommodate any changes. Also, if there is no room available in a particular league, then we contact the team with their options.

Generally, if you don't hear something right away, that is a good sign. It usually means that your registration has gone through and your team is confirmed. You will also notice your payment processed as well (credit card run or check cashed). If this happens, that means your registration is confirmed.

Then, teams and individuals are contacted 3-5 days before the league actually begins. This can happen by phone, e-mail or both. In this initial contact, we notify the teams and free agents about their first game info. We then count on the team captains to pass the info on to their teammates. At the first game, we hand out season schedules to all players, and post them on the web shortly afterwards. The schedules will have all game times for the regular-season games. Once we get to the final week(s) of playoffs and consolation, captains are contacted again with necessary info.

With the internet becoming an important component of our communication process, we also post general info on our web site. On the site, you can usually find schedules, locations and directions, weather-related postponements, rules & procedures, standings, and so on.

If you still have questions regarding your team or league, feel free to e-mail us from this site, or leave a message on our voicemail. We'll then follow up accordingly.

Individual Players Wanted

Don't have a team? Are all your friends or co-workers signed up for volleyball, but you want to play kickball? Just move to the Milwaukee area and don't know enough people to play football? Don't worry. You have options and can sign up on your own for many of MSC's sports leagues.

One of Milwaukee Social Club's specialties is to compile teams from individual players, commonly referred to as "Free-Agents". All of our sports have these "independent" teams. In the possible case that we may not have enough individuals to form a full team, then we try and place these players on existing teams looking for extra help. Either way, you end up in a league 95% of the time.

Within the details of the particular league sports, you'll see the info on individual registration. Just follow the directions and sign up. It always helps to include 2nd and even 3rd choices for league options. This includes sports of choice, locations and even days of play. Once we get you assigned to a team, we'll then follow up with you with more information on your team and start dates.

These independent teams are a great way to get involved in MSC sports. While it is difficult to gauge what type of talent-level these teams will have, many of them end up coming back as full teams the next season. Either way, they always end up having lots of fun, which is priority one with Milwaukee Social Club. Many of these teams will even reach the playoffs and some even win championships within their first season or two!! (See Animals in Ultimate Frisbee, Pirating Pelicans in Kickball, or Raging Rhinos in Soccer).

Keep in mind, MSC actually got started with a small, six-team football league. In actuality, three of those teams were free agent teams. If you look over a current league in any sport, chances are that many of those players got started or at one time played as a free agent.
