Pre-Registration Problems
IMPORTANT NOTE
There have been e-mail problems with the pre-registration form submission: the information was not being properly delivered.
If you submitted the form between Monday, July 19 and Tuesday, July 20 8:30PM please resubmit the pre-registration information!
Pre-Registration is now OPEN!
Yes, it is that eagerly anticipated time of the year, pre-registration time! We apologize for the slight delay enabling the pre-registration forms.
Start now, pre-registation finishes on Monday, August 4, 2010.
Looking for a team to play on?
If you're looking for a team to play with, we can help! While GAARA only registers intact teams (we do not register individual players and create teams like the youth associations), we do host a New Recruits List which lets teams know what players are out there.
Individuals not wanting or able to join a team for the season can also be registered as spares to the league. GAARA hosts a Spares List where teams can pick up players if they're short for a game (there is a nominal charge to be added).
To be added to the New Recruits or Spares List, please contact the GAARA Registrar for more information.
Note for Ottawa Players: Ottawa teams will now be registering through GAARA. This means you (as an individual player) do NOT register yourself through CORA. If you have not heard from your previous team about what is going on please contact the GAARA Registrar.
