If you are a team organizer and you would like to setup a team, please contact Eileen Schlusberg – eileen@ISPEventcenter.com – or by phone at 973-895-4007 to have your team listed in our league or to get updates on players registered to date. Deadline to enter a team is November 1. Please let ISP know ASAP if you would like to enter a team this year. Each team is required to designate at least one parent coach, or representative. The coach or representative will help ensure proper conduct and behavior of the team while in team rooms and on the sidelines. This will also help facilitate communication between ISP and all teams.

A minimum of 12 players is needed to enter as a team and ensure no individuals will be placed with your team from outside your community. If your team has less than 12 Players, ISP may add players to your roster. Groups of less than 12 are welcome to register as ISP will be able to supplement players to complete your roster.

Absolutely! If your town/team is not registered to play at ISP but you would like to participate you will register as an individual player. After registration has closed, ISP will assign you to a team who needs additional players. Once assigned, you will be contacted by ISP with the name of your team. If we are unable to assign you, we will let you know as soon as possible!
