Teams will rotate helping with setup, takedown, and starting the night with prayer and announcements (previous league rep responsibilities).

FREE AGENTS
For those that do not have a team but are interested in participating in Pentasport, please register as a Free Agent.
Free agent regulations
– Free agent placement typically takes place after rosters have been submitted by teams to determine how many spots are available in the upcoming season.
– The league will accept and try its best to place free agents — individuals who do not have a team to play for — onto existing teams. Free agents are required to contact the league at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the season (or follow registration instructions provided by the Organizing Committee).
– Individuals who consistently attend a Christian church can only be considered a free agent IF their home church:
A) Does not have a team in the league’s upcoming season or;
B) The team’s roster is already full.
If none of the conditions apply, the individual will be considered under the “Other church” player category on the roster. Note: the maximum number of “Other church” players on a roster remains at two (2).
– Free agents will be considered a separate player category on a team roster. Teams are still required to ensure their roster abides by League Regulations on player-category and roster limitations
– Free agents will be placed onto teams at the discretion of the Organizing Committee. There is no guarantee that a free agent will be provided a roster spot. Variables, such as needs assessment by team captains, availability, compatibility, and location, will be taken into account.
Please ensure you are familiar with Pentasport’s Rules and Regulations and Statement of Faith before registering.
