Do I have to be an elite athlete to join?
No, athletes of all abilities can sign up.

Am I too old to join?
No, athletes of all ages can sign up. Adult athletes can create an athlete profile to track their statistics in their adult leagues OR adult athletes can create a team profile for their team. A team profile is a great way to cut down on day-to-day team emails trying to get everyone the information they need. A team page is one central location where team members could periodically check in, add photos, list where upcoming games or tournaments are, let everyone know where the post-game festivities will be held, add funny stories from last night's game on the "fan mail" (blog) and more.
