FAQ

Q: What if I signed up without a team preference but I don’t see myself on the rosters page?
A: If the season hasn’t started yet, relax, the exec. board is likely discussing roster changes, if necessary. If the season has started, message an exec. board member via Microsoft Teams (preferably Tyler Lee at the moment), and we will get you on a team. You are also welcome to just come to the next game and we will get you playing.

Q: How do I contact my team?
A: We generally leave this up to team captains, but typically each team has a GroupMe, Microsoft Team, or other forum of communication which they should be adding you to. If you are unable to message your captain, please message the global soccer teams channel or failing that, an exec. board member. (See About page for exec. members)

Q: Where are the games played?
A: Games will take place at the Goddard soccer field behind the B11 parking lot, just look for the sign!

Q: How do I get my guest in?

Q: I don’t have Venmo to pay league fees, can I still participate?
A: Yes, however, we strongly prefer league fee payments via Venmo. If you do not have Venmo, please coordinate with another league member to Venmo on your behalf, and put their name down on the sign up instead of your Venmo ID.

Q: I can’t make every scheduled game, can I still participate?
A: Yes! We understand that players may not be able to attend every game. Once placed on a team, please coordinate with the associated Team Captain to inform them of your availability. (Typically they’ll poll each week with who is coming…)

Q: Does GSL hold weekly pick-up games?

Q: Is Brandon Burkholder literally the worst thing that has happened, is happening, or will ever happen to humanity?
