NYC Footy’s 3 Biggest Registration Fails (and how to avoid them)

Summer’s private rollover registration period will officially open to NYC Footy’s active spring players with early bird pricing for select leagues on May 1st - with all players being able to sign up starting May 7th

This means you should spend the next few days reviewing NYC Footy's three biggest registration fails and how you can easily avoid them.

Fail #1: You wait to tell NYC Footy's Customer Success Team you registered as an individual but want to play with a certain teammate.

What’s this team photo missing? Probably you if you wait to tell us who you want to play with.

Every season, individual players register as free agents and then request to join a friend who has already been placed on a team roster that sadly doesn't have room for one more. 

The Fix: Sign up with your preferred teammate(s) at the beginning of registration by connecting with your team captain or selecting the "Play with Friends" option to register a small group. If you have any issues creating a small group or indicating who you'd like to play with, please reach out to NYC Footy's Customer Success Team.

Fail #2: You don't take advantage of the following equation:

Early Registration Discounts + Early Registration Availability =

Your best chance to land a spot in your favorite league... for less.

This isn't Steiner math for all of our beloved "freaks" in the NYC Footy community but please do holler if ya' hear me on this. Rollover, early bird, and Ladies First promotions comprise our early registration discount periods. We reward teams and players that are ready to act early on so we can ensure leagues hit their full player potential and get this summer soccer show kick-started.

Fail #3: You don't review guidelines, including our skill level compliance.

Signing up for a beginner league when you’re an advanced player has consequences.

We know mistakes happen, but we rely on every player and team to honestly assess their skill level before signing up for one of our leagues. Failure to do so ruins the experience, particularly for new players.  You're going to get caught eventually if you think you can sneak by, so just be honest from the start and rest easy knowing you're doing the right thing.
