| Description of Divisions | |
| Division |
Description |
| Rookie |
Teams in this division are new to the sport and likely have never played before. Wins and losses are not important in this division and neither are standings. Players in this division mainly just want to come out and have fun. This is a great division to start in if you have never played before or are not overly athletic. |
| Really Rec |
This division is for players who have played before and want to join a league where wins and losses count. Average athletes who have played before will enjoy this division as will teams that are continuously finishing in the top half of the rookie division. |
| Rec Plus |
If you have played for a few seasons and finished in the top half of the standings in the really rec division, then this league is for you. Rec plus teams have a higher level of skill and experience than teams in the really rec division. Players in this division have average to above average athletic ability. |
| Intermediate |
Typically teams in this division have played together for several seasons and are looking to play higher caliber opponents. Teams are able to work together and this division has very skilled players. If your team is constantly finishing in the top half of the rec plus division than this is where you should be. Just like all levels, sportsmanship is still very important in this division. |
When deciding which division to join, consider the following:
· All divisions are rec leagues and still have a fun first mentality. Sportsmanship is just as important in all leagues.
· Depending on the number of teams registered in each division the rec league may need to move a team up or down a division.
· If your team is comprised of athletic people who have played sports all their lives then you belong in either the intermediate or advanced division.
· It is not enjoyable to be in a division where level of play is extremely uneven. Therefore it is important to place your team in the appropriate division to ensure you play teams of similar calibre.
· If you have played a few seasons in a division and are constantly finishing on top then it is time to move up a level.
Registration fees are fully refundable up to 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the season. After this, the Saskatoon Rec League assumes you have committed and all fees are non-refundable. We require this time frame in order to create teams and to complete scheduling.
