  • Click on “Schedule” along the top menu to view your schedule. 

5. How do individual registrations work?
If you want to play but don't have a team, you can register as an individual or “free agent.” Individual registrants will be grouped to form a team or placed on an existing team that needs additional players.

6. When will the schedule be posted?
The schedule will be released no later than the Friday before the league's start date. Our goal is to have the schedule delivered 7 days before game day. This may be delayed during your first week of games due to late registrations.

7. Where are the games held?
Games are scheduled on designated weeknights at the Save Max Sports Centre, located at Sandalwood Parkway and Dixie Road, with start times between 7 PM and 10 PM. Some leagues will be offered at different locations in Brampton like Gore Meadows Community Centre and Balmoral Recreation Centre. Please view your team's schedule to confirm the location. 

8. Do I need to have my roster completed before registering my team?
Team rosters must be submitted before the first game of the season. Any changes to the roster must be made before the start of the third game. In cases of injuries or extenuating circumstances, the League Administrator will decide on adding players after the season has started. Players must have participated in at least 50% of regular-season games to be eligible for playoffs.

9. What skill level is required to participate?
The Brampton Sports League is recreational, suitable for players seeking to develop their skills while building social relationships within the community. As the league grows, it may introduce different divisions and tiers of competition. Please note that we will adjust mismatched skills to the best of our ability. Typically, 3 weeks of games give our league conveners a sense of the overall league. After 3 weeks of play, you may see your team move up or down a tier based on performance.

10. Are there prizes for the winning teams?
Yes, championship teams will receive a prize at the end of the season.
