Preliminary Schedule: The preliminary schedule is on our Info tab. It's subject to change dependent upon divisions filling/not filling-we could possibly add more spots divisions.
Zorts Athlete & Coach's Cards: ALL players and coaches must have a Zorts card. This is an annual membership from date of purchase. Zorts athlete cards hold teams accountable to player's ages. Zorts coaches cards will speed up the check in process and hold teams accountable to their max number of coaches. If you are a club admin or team manager, you are NOT required to get a coach's card. All coaches must have a passed background check. You can complete a background check though Zorts Sports. If you have any issues or questions on an athlete or coach card, please contact helpdesk@zortssports.com
Drafting for the Schedule: We will be drafting for the schedule. It's based on the order of how teams register. Here's a link to how the draft works: https://youtu.be/Fgza1WaKuHg?si=DS0H_5nyfofhit4_
We won't have a coach's meeting. All info about our event is on this registration page and also under the Zorts Info tab on the app or URL. Of course if there's anything that you don't see that you need answers to, please don't hesitate to reach out. ~ Cassie (Cassie@iflag.org)
