UPDATE: Blue Sombrero will not accept Canadian addresses in the main field. We have developed a workaround noted in Registration Process Step 2.

For our 2016 season, MLQ will be partnering with Blue Sombrero and Dick’s Sporting Goods to streamline our registration process for in-person tryouts. For specific dates, times and locations, keep an eye on your desired team’s Facebook page.

If you are unable to make the in-person tryout(s) for your desired team, you can submit a video tryout. The requirements for all video tryouts–and the recruitment territory for each team–can be found here. The deadline for this form of tryout is April 27 at 11:59 pm ET.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION

• Those that register before April 8, 2016 at 3 pm ET will receive free SAVAGEUltimate #16for16 tryout gear. You must attend an in-person tryout to receive the gear. It will not be held for you for a later date
• Online registration for each team will close at 6 pm Eastern the day prior to the team’s first tryout. Walk ons will be permitted to try out, but we ask that you make a concerted effort to pre-register
• Tryouts are open to all genders. Unfortunately, Blue Sombrero only permits a registrant to select “male” or “female” as their gender. Please select the one that best applies to you. We are working with the company to widen this selection in the future
• Tryouts are open to all experience levels
• All athletes must reside within a city’s radius at least 46 days between June 1 and August 31. Exceptions can be made only through an appeal to the Commission Co-Chairs
• All athletes must be 18 or older by June 1 in order to try out
• All athletes participating in the 2016 season of MLQ must have personal healthcare coverage. You will need to have your insurance card handy during the tryout registration process
